Do I need a visa for Sri Lanka from Romania?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Yes, Romanian nationals need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA/e-Visa) for Sri Lanka, obtained online before departure.
A Romanian citizen planning a holiday in Sri Lanka must apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA), the equivalent of a tourist e-Visa. It is requested online in a few minutes, with no consulate visit. Once approved, it is linked to your passport for entry.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Romanian travellers must obtain an ETA before arriving in Sri Lanka; entry without prior authorisation is not guaranteed. The tourist ETA covers short stays for tourism and visits.
How and where to apply
Apply on the official ETA portal, srilankaevisa.lk (also reachable via eta.gov.lk). You complete the online form, give your dates and accommodation, then pay the fee by card. Confirmation arrives by e-mail.
Documents and fees
Carry a passport valid for at least 6 months, an accommodation address in Sri Lanka and a return or onward ticket. The ETA fee is not confirmed here; check the official price displayed on the portal at the payment stage.
Processing and tips
The tourist ETA is often approved quickly, but apply several days before departure to allow for any checks. Confirm the length of stay and number of entries stated on your approval. Keep the ETA confirmation printed or on your phone for immigration.
Common mistakes
Many travellers use third-party sites that charge a mark-up; use only the official government portal. Make sure the passport number you enter exactly matches the document you will present, because the ETA is electronically tied to it.
