Hello !!! We are a Spanish couple who want to live in Sri Lanka. At the embassy we have not gotten a lot of information, we have encouraged the search for internet expatriates and locals who can help us with any questions.
Is there work for two foreign massage therapists, yoga teachers??
Another option would be to open a small business. For a example a guest house? What are the requirements? Is there a local partner, which required visa necessary?
Thank you for opening this door to our dream !!!!

Hi Kikemay, Massage therapists are falling off the edge of the island ,most of them in Ayurveda spas and hotels.Lots and lots of small guest houses but most seem to be struggling due to over capacity in the Hotel and B&B market. New government have said visitor numbers will increase this.year by 20%,which is highly likely but the way they are building hotels the present over capacity looks as if it will increase by the same amount. Not sure about yoga teachers but it is difficult to get work permits and work visas. Any business venture would require a Sri Lankan partner which is fraught with problems. Best thing to do is to come for a holiday ,fact finding trip, and then re-assess

Hi,
First of all congratulations on your decision to move to Sri Lanka! At the same time I must advice you to be cautious when dealing with anyone.
Your idea of having your own business is a verygood, however you need to get the correct advice and guidance before you take any step.
I am Sri Lankan born but traveled and lived overseas for many years, drop me an email and lets have a chat and see how best I can give you both tips and advice.
Best of luck,
Dave.
