How to check your Sri Lanka application
Applications submitted through Sri Lanka’s official ETA system.
Sri Lanka ETA application status
www.eta.gov.lk
Open official service ↗Step-by-step instructions
- Open the ETA status page and locate your confirmation code and passport number.
- If you have the code, enter it with the passport number. If it is unknown, select the page’s alternative option and provide passport number, nationality and date of birth.
- Submit the enquiry and read the result. Wait for the ETA Approval Notice before travelling when an ETA is required.
Choose the correct application type
The official checker expressly distinguishes an ETA acknowledgement from an approval notice. This route does not cover every residence or long-stay application.
Information to keep ready
Keep your application acknowledgement, submission date, visa category and the name of the submitting office available. The official service determines which identifiers are required. Enter personal information only in that service; VisaWand does not need your passport number, login password or application reference.
If the record cannot be found
Compare the service and reference with your receipt and check the fields requested on the official screen. A technical error or missing result does not establish a decision. Follow the handling office’s help instructions if the record still cannot be retrieved.
After an update or decision
Read the actual notice and any document request, collection instruction or deadline. Passport movement, the validity of an issued permission and progress of a pending application are separate checks. Use the decision notice to confirm the outcome and next action.

Travel-advice references provide entry and consular context. They do not supply a private application result, and nationality-specific entry advice must not be applied to every passport.
