Planning a Sri Lanka holiday from India starts with the ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization), the country's online e-visa. Indian passport holders apply online before travel, and the process is straightforward. Holiday Vibez assists you with the application and, of course, plans the trip itself — beaches, tea hills, ancient cities and safaris. This page walks you through the essentials and shows a sample itinerary to inspire your journey.

What Is the Sri Lanka ETA?

The ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) is Sri Lanka's official online e-visa. Indian passport holders apply online ahead of travel, receive approval by email, and carry it for entry. It is designed to be quick and convenient, though timelines and requirements are set by the authorities.

How Holiday Vibez Helps

We guide you through the ETA application so nothing is missed.

  • Explaining what details and documents you need
  • Helping you complete the online application correctly
  • Answering your questions along the way

We assist with the process; we cannot guarantee or expedite official approval.

Documents You'll Typically Need

Keep the basics ready before you apply — a passport valid for your travel dates, your travel details and a working email address for the approval. Requirements can change, so we will confirm the current list when you enquire. Always rely on official guidance for the final word.

Getting There & Around

Fly into Colombo (CMB), served by direct flights from many Indian metros. Once on the island, a private car and driver is the popular way to tour, with the scenic hill-country train a lovely addition. We arrange transfers as part of your package.

A Sample Sri Lanka Trip

Wondering what your ETA unlocks? A classic week takes in Sigiriya and Dambulla, Kandy's Sacred Tooth, the tea-country train, a Yala safari and the south-coast beaches. Holiday Vibez tailors the length and pace to suit you.

Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.

Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.

The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
