The visa policy of Sri Lanka states that Yemeni citizens who wish to travel to Sri Lanka for business or tourism purposes are not required to obtain a consular visa. Instead, you are eligible for an ETA, which means that you can get a Sri Lanka ETA online. iVisa can make that happen in just 6 days.

How is the iVisa application form?
The form you must complete consists of three steps.
- The first one covers general information, processing time, and ETA type. When you choose a processing time for your application and a visa type, keep in mind that the cost of your Sri Lanka ETA depends on your decisions. Regarding the processing time, iVisa came up with three options:
-
Standard processing – most people go for this option because it is the cheapest. You receive your Sri Lanka ETA in 10 days, and you only have to pay USD $90.99.
-
Rush processing – for somewhat faster processing, you can choose this option. Your application is processed within 8 days, and the fee is USD $113.99.
-
Super Rush processing – if you want your ETA as soon as possible, you can choose this option and have your application processed within 6 days. And the fee is USD $162.99.
As far as the visa type is concerned, you also have the option of applying for a Sri Lanka Business ETA if your trip is for business purposes. The fees differ, though. This visa will cost you an additional $13 for each processing time.
-
The second step wants you to take care of the payment, but you also have to review your form to make sure that there are no mistakes in it.
-
And the third requires you to upload a few documents.
As soon as you are done, you are free to submit your application, and iVisa will take care of the rest.
