You still need to apply for ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) before travel. You can stay upto 30 days. If you need to stay beyond 30 days, you can apply for an extension. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sri_Lanka_visa_for_Indian\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Sri Lanka visa for Indian<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Based on the applicant&#8217;s requirements, eligibility criteria, and other factors, the applicant may or may not be approved for a Sri Lanka visa for Indian citizens from India.
