The Sri Lanka Investor Visa is a long-term residence category launched in 2026 to facilitate foreign nationals who wish to invest capital and actively participate in the island's economic landscape. Managed by the Department of Immigration & Emigration, this program provides a secure and structured legal framework for international investors to reside in Sri Lanka while managing their business interests.
Investment Tiers and Duration
The program offers two distinct pathways based on the level of investment commitment:
5-Year Residency: Granted for a minimum investment of $100,000 USD.
10-Year Residency: Granted for a minimum investment of $200,000 USD. This visa is initially issued for 5 years, with a guaranteed 5-year extension provided investment requirements continue to be met.
