Great news! Following the massive outcry over the VFS Global delays and the hidden fees, the government has temporarily reverted to the old, simple ETA website (eta.gov.lk). Do not use any third-party websites right now, and definitely apply online before you arrive to skip the Visa on Arrival queue entirely.

I arrived yesterday and can confirm the old ETA site worked perfectly. It cost me 50 USD and was approved in 10 minutes.

Watch out for scam websites that look exactly like the official one but charge 100 USD. Only use the one ending in .gov.lk.
