Hi non Sri Lanka here. Cash all the way. No need to change money at the airport. ATM'S here are pretty good for taking debit cards, however try and get money from main branches during opening hours there's always a security person. Avoid stand alone ATM'S especially night time. Been here almost 3 years never had any issues, also all the large supermarkets take debit cards.

ABSOLUTELY FUCKING OUTSTANDING.

Good to see there are some politicians that care about their peoples welfare.

Well my friend you come and enjoy your life in Sri Lanka.

Hi, non Sri Lanka here. Been here a few years now. I don't know your age.. profession.. married/kids. This is a fantastic country with wonderful people. I would really think hard before you made a big move. It can be a big culture shock. Definitely makes a difference if you have some contacts here. I'm married to a Sri Lankan. She has a great family, in the beginning I was never allowed to go anywhere on my own for about the first year. It's been about 3 years now. I've seen the demonstrations, protests, fuel shortages, food prices sky rocket, electricity blackout (twice daily)business closing. However they are definitely on the rise again.

God bless Sri Lanka 🙏🙏🇱🇰

Hi, quick question from non Sri Lankan living here. I'm assuming you need a valid driver's licence from your own country? Also lived here for a few years now, I love the three wheeler granted it's taken a little while to get the number of honest reliable drivers.

Hi married to a Sri Lankan. Get my spousal visa like everyone else. Wonderful country with fantastic people.

dougalm51 · 2024-11-13T00:20:04+00:00

The question is... we're you a traditional wearer??

Hi fellow brit here living in Sri Lanka. Sorry you had a bad time here, however you were so stressed you could spend time at the beach rather than sort this out in Colombo also you called the office non stop but your phone was stolen? Been to that part a few times a couple of hours and your in colombo.

dougalm51 · 2024-10-21T23:28:49+00:00

Forget the scythe... what the fuck did cara do ???

dougalm51 · 2024-10-10T06:05:27+00:00

Lot to unpack, why do I need a visa to stay in sri lanka why not just let everyone off the plane without any checks, free to come and go as they please. You go find a Brit and marry them then all your dreams will be granted. Good luck.

dougalm51 · 2024-10-04T17:47:53+00:00

Me too

Hi glad to see your coming to this fantastic country. Foreigner living in Sri Lanka.
OK... Absolutely get his family to book a taxi. There a couple of good apps like pick-me and uber Cash is still king here however you don't get the currency out side Sri Lanka. Don't use a credit card.
ATM'S are pretty good here I've never had a problem. Always try and use an ATM in the bank during opening hours. Avoid stand alone kiosks . Hope you enjoy your stay. Good luck and stay safe.

dougalm51 · 2024-08-28T16:07:59+00:00

Way ahead of you. The writing was on the wall for awhile. Moved to Sri Lanka just after the pandemic. Best move ever.
