Hi- has anyone out here had experience of applying for a residency visa that is not spousal or employment related? e.g. a business residency visa or company ownder? I'd be keen to hear about your experiences and whether you needed a lawyer to help you with it?
Hi There is a prostige to aplied for residence visa 1 need appointement letter from sri lankan company 2 application to be field to immigration office 3 request an entry visa from the sri lankan embasy in your country 4 come to sri lanka with an entry visa 5 apply for resident visa to immigration office
What I did was to go to a well known lawyer, to establish a company and then get the residence visa. It was more expensive of course, but I did nothing at all except signing the forms they provided. I couldn't believe it'd be that easy (except the price lol). If you are around Galle I can give details. Good luck.
Hi zbbo, I've been trying for years to get a residence visa in Sri Lanka and I wonder how it can be that easy by just opening up a business? Can u tell me more and how to proceed? Do u need a lawyer? For u info, I lived inSl for 7 years thanks to a sponsorship... But that was almost 10 years ago now. Thanks for your feedback.
