Commercial video shoots require permit from Sri Lanka Film Location Services (SLFLS) — a division of Ministry of Tourism. Process: submit script/storyboard, cast/crew details, locations, dates. Fee ~USD 200-2000 depending on scale. Includes location fees for heritage sites and national parks.

Local production support: several Colombo agencies (Ceylon Roots, Focus Sri Lanka) handle permits + fixers. For YouTube content or vlogging that's non-commercial, generally no permit — but always ask before filming private property or people.
