Is https://www.google.com/search?q=sri-lanka-visa-service.com legitimate? They are asking for $90!

Do not enter your credit card details on that site — it is almost certainly a third-party scam or at best an unauthorised overpriced intermediary, and $90 per person is a major red flag.

The only legitimate website to apply for a Sri Lanka ETA is eta.gov.lk, operated directly by the Sri Lanka government. Any other site is unofficial.

Here is what you need to know for your application right now (as of early 2026):

• Sri Lanka has introduced a Free Visa Scheme for nationals of 35+ countries, including the USA, UK, EU countries, Australia, India, China, and others. If your nationality is on the list, the ETA fee is $0.00 — completely waived.
• You still must apply through eta.gov.lk, fill out the form, and when you reach the payment page it should show $0.00 for eligible nationalities. Do not skip this step — you need the approval email before you travel.
• If your nationality is NOT on the free scheme list, the standard ETA fee is a modest amount (historically around $20–35 USD), not $90. Always confirm the current fee on eta.gov.lk directly, as fees and eligible country lists can change.

Third-party sites like the one you found often appear in Google ads or search results and look very official. They charge a large markup (sometimes 3–5x the real fee) for simply submitting the form on your behalf, or worse, they are outright fraudulent and will steal your payment details. Either way, there is no benefit — the government site is straightforward and takes about 10 minutes to complete.

Action to take: Go directly to eta.gov.lk, apply there, and confirm your country's eligibility and the current fee on that official page before entering any payment information.
