The Sri Lankan Department of Immigration and Emigration has launched a new visa system. The previously operating ETA has been replaced with the eVisa system, which aims to enhance efficiency and cater to the needs of tourists and investors visiting Sri Lanka.  Together with the implementation of the new visa platform, the government of Sri Lanka has also updated the requirements, fees, and validity periods of available visas.  Sri Lanka eVisa – eligibility criteria  eVisa requirements apply to all eligible nationals who plan to enter Sri Lanka either by air or sea for tourism, business, or transit; Nationals of a few certain countries (Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Syria, and North Korea) need to apply for a visa directly at the Sri Lankan embassy and are required to submit a number of supporting documents, including police clearance report, accommodation details, etc.; Taiwanese nationals need to select the People's Republic of China (Special Administrative Region of China) as their nationality when applying for the Sri Lankan eVisa; Citizens of Kosovo are eligible for Visa On Arrival only. Visa-exempt countries Sri Lankan authorities have made reciprocity agreements with several countries, including Singapore, the Maldives, Seychelles, and the Czech Republic.
