The Digital Nomad Visa is fully operational as of March 2026. The main requirement is a minimum monthly income of two thousand dollars from foreign sources. You must apply through the official online portal and the fee is five hundred dollars for a one year stay. This visa allows for easy residency and has been a major draw for remote workers following our success at the ITB Berlin fair.
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.
