I can help you with everything... I have been living here for more than 35 years and my wife is also a foreigner and I know the procedure of how to get the visas...
I can also help you to find a house or apartment on rent in a good area for a reasonable price...
you can give me $100 for everything... maybe it will take 3 days to convert visas and about 1 day to find a nice house... I have a car and will take you anywhere...
will also be your friend who will advise you regarding any other matter.... and yes there is a demand for qualified teachers who can speak fluent English
when r u visiting Colombo?
my WhatsApp is +94775875253

Don't be misled by Goodguy35.
It is not at all easy to convert a visit visa to a residence visa.

I work part time in a large private English language school. They have difficulty in getting visas for foreign English teachers. Government schools are eligible to apply for visas for foreign English teachers, but the process is not simple and takes time, and the pay is not good in government schools.

So maybe your wife will be able to get a residence visa if she got a job as teacher. But on what grounds would you apply for a residence visa? Look at the Sri Lankan Government website. You will see that there are very specific qualifications for applying for a residence visa. It usually involves making very large investments in Sri Lanka.

And don't under any circumstances send Goodguy35 $100. It would be most unwise.
