Of course there will be no. So a huge number of people travel. Sri Lanka is generally considered the country most suitable for independent rest. So boldly plan the route, buy air tickets and a boring trip to you.

From January 2012, for the visit to the state of Sri Lanka, you must purchase the Electronic Authorization for the visit (ETA). This entry permit can be obtained online at the official [www.eta.gov.lk website] of the Ministry of Tourism of Sri Lanka.

The procedure for obtaining it is as follows: first a visa fee is paid (if the permit is issued, the cost of ETA is 30 USD), then the site is filled in the form, after which, usually within two days, an EMA confirmation email is sent to the e-mail . This electronic authorization is valid for 3 months from the date of receipt and confirms the possibility to stay on the island for no more than 30 days . At the e-mail om tourists intending to stay in Sri Lanka for up to two days (transit, weekend trip, short business visit) can enter without ETA and visa fee should not be paid .

However, in addition to self-receiving an electronic permission for the visit online, this can be done through a travel agency, an airline bureau performing air travel to Sri Lanka, the main office of the Sri Lanka Immigration Department and even upon arrival at Sri Lanka airport, behind the counter with the ETA inscription. However, this method is slightly more expensive: with an additional fee, the cost of the visa will increase to $ 45.

Please note that when passing passport control at the airport of Colombo, you must always have a passport with a validity of at least 3 months after the date you leave country, return tickets and confirmation of money solvency (sometimes it is enough to demonstrate the availability of a plastic card).

As for the stay in Sri Lanka, independent travelers, as a rule, remain satisfied the trip is much more than those who buy ready-made tours: in the vouchers the prices are very high, whereas the independent tourist easily finds both accommodation and food by means, and travels with pleasure along the wonderful island that leaves the best memories.
