Okay, so i'm really worried about this whole sri lanka visa thing, so i have tried many times to apply online via the eta website, but it keeps being rejected and stating transaction is not succesful but than i read online that it is possible to get visa on arrival, im fine with this but because i worry about everything lol, im so scared that it will be rejected or something like that, can someone reassure me, that it is simple to do at the aiport please and explain the process? thank you

Different nationalities have different immigration requirements but you don't mention yours. Assuming your nationality is UK, you can get a VOA for a maximum stay of 30 days. Easy peasy, just fill in the form at the airport and pay your money (dollars only).

I'd be a bit worried if my electronic application is repeatedly rejected and TBH would get to the bottom of it. What reason do you get ? Is your passport valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date ? etc

oh by rejected, i mean my whole family is rejected, i called up the number on the eta website and the woman who answered stated it would be fine just to get it at the airport. Thanks for your response i was getting really worried. If its a family of 4, how long do you think it would take? and yes nationality is uk/british. I'm only worried that visa will be rejected at the airport or something like that, but i think i'm just overreacting :/

oh and it just states 'Transaction was not successful'

sorry, another question, at the airport, is it just filling in a form and handing it in with the money, nothing else? phew
