Tourism ETA Requirements
Sri Lanka is implementing new Electronic Travel Authorization rules for foreign tourists starting May 25, 2026. The new policy requires pre-arrival authorization for all foreign nationals, with special provisions for French and Spanish tourists.
Wait, they're making a whole tourism ETA drama for a 30-day pass? Sounds like someone at the immigration office just discovered Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V and decided to turn bureaucratic copy-paste into an international adventure. Congrats on turning travel paperwork into a suspense thriller! 🎉✈️
