Sri Lanka, a welcoming destination to expats?

Cheryl

Hello everyone,

Settling in Sri Lanka, like every new environment, can feel like stepping into the unknown and brings many questions: how will it go, how to integrate successfully, etc.
To help smooth this transition, we invite you to share your experience since you landed in Sri Lanka, whether recently or a long ago:

What was your first impression when you arrived?

Did you face any challenges while integrating? Any advice on how to overcome them?

Are there any support programs, groups or events to help newcomers settle in?

Do you find it easy to make friends or connections with locals and fellow expats?

What makes Sri Lanka a welcoming destination for expats?

Share your insights and experience.

Thank you for your contribution.
