Common questions

It's an official visa category launched by the Sri Lankan government for foreign professionals who work remotely for companies or clients outside Sri Lanka. It allows you to live in Sri Lanka for up to 12 months (renewable) while maintaining your foreign income source.

You need to demonstrate a minimum monthly income of USD 2,000 for the main applicant. If you have more than 2 dependents, an additional USD 500 per month is required for each extra dependent.

Yes. Your spouse and dependent children can accompany you. Each family member requires their own visa application (USD 500 government fee per person per year). We handle the paperwork for the whole family.

Our team prepares your complete document package within 3–5 business days. Processing time at the Department of Immigration varies, but we provide real-time updates throughout the process.

No. The Digital Nomad Visa explicitly requires that all income is earned from foreign sources. You cannot engage in local employment within Sri Lanka under this visa category.

You can renew your visa annually. For renewal, you'll also need proof of tax registration with Sri Lanka's Inland Revenue Department — which is something we help you set up in our Premium package.

Your application is handled by our team of licensed Sri Lankan immigration lawyers based in Colombo. Every document is reviewed by a qualified attorney before submission.
