How do I fill in the application form?

Once you put together all of the above, there is one more requirement you must meet, and that is to fill in the application form. That should be easy since iVisa created a straightforward form that should not take more than 20 minutes of your time. Plus, if you need assistance, iVisa has a fantastic support service that can help you 24/7. The service is entirely free of charge.

The application form on iVisa has three steps:

1. The first one asks for your basic information such as name, address, date of birth, passport info, and so on. You also have to select your processing time in this part

2. Step two is about payment and revision. We covered payment above, and as for the review, you need to not underestimate the step. Any small error can render your visa invalid, which is why we recommend that you read carefully the information you inserted during step one.

3. The third and last step is when iVisa asks you to upload the necessary documentation such as the photo and the passport scan. If additional documents are required, you will be let know. After step three is complete, you are free to submit your application. Needless to say, a Sri Lanka visa for the citizens of Hong Kong is easy to obtain when you apply with iVisa.

Remember that it's electronically linked to your passport, but we still suggest travelers to print this confirmation and keep a copy of it with your passport.

Every child who is under 12 years old is exempt from paying the ETA.
