Hi Cheryl,

It will be my first time in SR.

I have already asked several times , but no one was able to answer a simple question

How much would a FURNISHED one bedroom apartment or a small house cost to rent monthly in Galle or close to Galle ?

No more questions

Thanks

Hi Everyone!

I just signed up to expat.com today, im in sri lanka for 6 months doing an internship. I’ll be here until Jan 2025!

Im from the UK and am hoping to meet some other expats while I’m here, are there any good websites to find events or social occassions? I'm on so many facebook group chats but they seem to all be marketplaces…

Thank you!!

Hi; Richrd Todd here, UK national but lived in Asia for 30 years. I am currently living in Cambodia but looking at retiring to Galle area, would love to get to know from others what the experience of relocating, making friends, setting up in business, buying property is like. I have been in education for decades, set up my own consultancy, kids all grown up now. I am passionate about music, writing, recording and some performing, one of the things I want to do is build a home studio. I might be making a trip out soon to look at some place. Looking forward to getting to know you.

Self-employed working from home in Washington DC, and looking forward to doing the same in Sri Lanka!  My goal is to resume my Sri Lankan citizenship for dual citizenship (US).

Hello all. I'm Bastien, from France. I will arrive in Colombo as an expat for (normally) 3 years starting in January 2025. My wife will join me probably in March or April
