How we work
Whether you are relocating an executive team, retiring to Sri Lanka or applying for dual citizenship, immigration outcomes depend on precise paperwork and realistic sequencing. We handle both.
The team manages resident visas, work permits under BOI and non-BOI routes, the retirement and investor residence schemes, and citizenship applications — end to end, including liaison with the Department of Immigration.

Questions we hear often
Before you ask —
How long does a residence visa take?
Straightforward employment-linked visas are often approved within four to eight weeks; citizenship applications take considerably longer.
Can you fix a refused application?
Often, yes. Most refusals stem from documentation gaps that can be cured on re-submission.
Do you handle corporate volume programmes?
Yes — we run standing immigration programmes for companies that relocate staff regularly.
