Still have to go to Colombo main office for extension I think. Some regional places might help with paperwork but final is Colombo. Check official site or ask your guesthouse, they usually know current process. Better start early anyway.
Yeah mostly Colombo. Galle immigration can sometimes assist but extension is done in capital. Plan a trip there if needed.
Scam Watch: colombo
Driver claims the meter is broken and quotes an inflated flat rate. Common on arrival at airport or railway stations when tourists are tired and disoriented.
Drivers wearing official-looking uniforms claim to be "government-approved" and charge 3-5x normal rates. They may have fake badges or ID cards.
Women with babies approach asking you to buy milk powder at a nearby shop (not cash). The shop is run by accomplices and charges 5-10x normal price.
