Extending visa - still have to go colombo or can do in galle now?
2 Answers from travellers
Still mainly Colombo for the extension. Galle office can sometimes help with forms but you usually need to go to the main place. Start the process soon, it can take a few days. Your guesthouse can probably tell you the latest.
Yeah Colombo is still the spot for extension. Plan a day there if needed. Process is straightforward but allow time.
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.
