Hello Hassams

Welcome to the Forum. I am not resident in SL and hence unable to provide tips and advise directly. However, I did find the following discussion threads that may answer some of your questions:

/forum/viewtopic.php?id=156447/forum/viewtopic.php?id=128245

I can also introduce you to professional/corporate service providers who would be able to guide you through the process and assist you in identifying suitable investment options. Please send me a private message if you would like the introduction.

Best wishes for a successful and fulfilling retirement.

Dear Hassams,

Government has abandoned the policy of selling the properties to the foreigners. They have replaced it with the 99 year leasehold.

Kalpitiya, Negombo, Arugambay, Kalkudah, Panama, Bentota, Galle, Matara, Hill Country and the Cultural Triangle found to be the ideal destinations for such an investment.

However I would like to suggest you to visit the country or build some relationship some individuals over the linkedin or similar forums to get an idea about the country, its economic situation first.

Reason: exact situation is not the same as what you are seeing from the outside.

If you need any assistance over the available options, just drop a PM. I will try to answer your questions as much as possible.

Thanks,
Zee

you should acquaint yourself with the changes that happened to the Land Act in Sri Lanka this year. This very much affects foreigners who wish to buy in Sri Lanka.  (My advice is don't even pursue your plan - it well end in tears - unless the law changes).
