Living in Sri Lanka. Long Term

Hi Bill ,
Security situation is almost the same , but future there will be less check points, things are really getting better.
If you wish to rent some place there some online sites , try them without a dealer
try
bhoomi.lk/
wow.lk/

if you are now retired you can get residency under the new government scheme.  I think its called "My dream sri lanka" or similar.

simon associated, galle face court, colombo are the best lawyers to help you organise this.  they speak english (lots of people do in sri lanka) and are a bit sloooowwww but will get  the job done.

re rental on the south coast, check out pearl sri lanka real estate, they have rentals.  so does ceylonrealty, lankarealestate and a few others.  Pearl sri lanka are particularly helpful and friendly though.

good luck, hope you find something you like.

Hi all,

I'm currently living in Canada and is considering moving to Sri Lanka to live.  Any feedback in terms of what to expect based on the living standars in Canada vs Sri Lanka?

If you are retired depending on your age you can apply for the Dream Home Program. This is the most ideal for retirees in Sri Lanka. RGS is also convenient but you do need to contribute to our economy with your skills or investment.
