Process of obtaining an eTA before travel;
Pakistani citizens are eligible to obtain Electronic Travel Authorisation prior to visiting the two countries of SriLanka and Kenya. An eTA is a digital travel document required for eligible travellers who are visa exempt for a specific country and the document can be obtained prior to travel.
Many countries have eTA systems that are streamlined and are efficient with approval being granted within a few hours or days. Although, it’s to be noted that the approval depends on the country of origin/ nationality and the destination country. Therefore it is always a prerequisite for travellers to check the rules and formalities required to be maintained before going for the trip.
