Visas for Sri Lanka from Bangladesh
In short
Sri Lanka admits Bangladeshi tourists on an Electronic Travel Authorisation applied for at eta.gov.lk before travel. Bangladesh pays the lower SAARC rate of US$20 online or US$25 on arrival, and children under 12 go free. The ETA allows 30 days with a double entry, and a longer stay needs an extension after you land.
Sri Lanka's tourist visa is the Electronic Travel Authorisation. Sri Lanka waives the fee for a list of 40 countries; Bangladesh is not one of them, so the SAARC rate applies.
