Is it faster to apply online or just get the visa stamped when I land.

Yes, Indian citizens can technically get a visa on arrival at the Bandaranaike International Airport in Colombo. However, it is highly recommended to apply online for the ETA beforehand.

Applying online is significantly faster. If multiple flights land at the same time, the visa on arrival queue can stretch for hours. Having the approved ETA document printed out means you walk straight to the passport control desks.

Also, since the online ETA is currently free for Indian passport holders under the new tourism scheme, there is absolutely no financial benefit to waiting until you arrive at the airport.
