Do you need a visa for Sri Lanka?
Yes. A Brazilian passport does not allow visa-free entry to Sri Lanka for tourism. The standard route is the e-Visa, also known as the electronic travel authorization (ETA), applied for online before departure. Some entry points may offer issuance on arrival, but obtaining the ETA in advance remains the most reliable option.
How and where to apply
The application is made online, from Brazil, on the official portal srilankaevisa.lk. You enter your passport details, your address of accommodation in Sri Lanka and your travel dates, then pay the fee by card. Once approved, the ETA arrives by email: keep it on your phone and print it for the immigration check.
Documents and fees
Bring a Brazilian passport valid for at least six months beyond your entry date, a return or onward ticket, an address of accommodation and sufficient funds. The ETA amount is not guaranteed in this guide: check the current official fee on srilankaevisa.lk before confirming payment. Also review any health requirements (yellow fever) depending on your itinerary.
Processing time and practical tips
Processing time is not fixed: submit your application several days before departure to absorb any delays. Check your passport number and the spelling of your name before submitting, as these details are linked to your ETA at the border. Carry a printed copy in addition to the digital version, in case of a network failure on arrival.
Common mistakes
Use only the official portal srilankaevisa.lk: many copycat sites charge unnecessary service fees. Do not always rely on issuance on arrival, which is not guaranteed and may be more expensive. Finally, a passport with less than six months' validity can lead to denied boarding when leaving Brazil.
