You live in Brazil on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Brazil but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

No verified processing time is published for this route. Apply as early as your travel dates allow, and never book non-refundable travel before the e-visa is granted.
Processing time and practical tips
Processing time is not fixed: submit your application several days before departure to absorb any delays.

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.
