Deputy Minister Chathuranga Abeysinghe announced that Sri Lanka now offers a Digital Nomad Visa (DNV) to foreign professionals who wish to live and work remotely from the country while serving clients abroad. The initiative aims to position Sri Lanka as a long-stay digital destination, boosting tourism and knowledge exchange.
Eligible applicants include foreign nationals aged 18 or older and their spouses or dependents. Applicants must be engaged in remote work, freelancing, or running a business outside Sri Lanka, with a minimum monthly income of USD 2,000.
The visa is valid for one year, renewable annually, and allows holders to legally reside in Sri Lanka, open bank accounts, rent property, enrol children in schools, and access utilities and co-working facilities. Fees are USD 500 per year for the main applicant and each dependent.
Applicants must submit documents including a passport, medical and police clearance, proof of income, and a recommendation from the Ministry of Digital Economy. The visa prohibits local employment, requires compliance with Sri Lankan laws, and may be terminated if conditions are violated.
