Client story 01Samina and Nadeem Qureshi

“My wife and I love Sri Lanka and have property here. We normally visited on tourist visas, but these had limitations on the duration of stay and our ability to leave and return multiple times. Other agencies told us residence visas were not possible for foreign nationals. Ceylon Migration Services took the time to understand our history and identified a provision allowing an ex-Sri Lankan and their spouse to receive Sri Lankan residence visas. No one else had brought this possibility to our attention. After we provided the background documents, we both received our residence visas within a few weeks. We are indebted to CMS for finding and pursuing a path forward for us. Their services were also very reasonably priced, and we recommend them without hesitation.”

Client story 02Ben Lloyd

“I cannot recommend Ceylon Migration Services highly enough. Their team did an outstanding job in successfully securing my resident visa and guiding me through what proved to be an exceptionally complex and lengthy process. Their persistence was particularly invaluable when dealing with the SLTDA, where the process required considerable follow-up, patience and attention to detail. They stayed on top of everything and continued to push the process forward when it could very easily have stalled. I am extremely grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone navigating residency or immigration matters in Sri Lanka.”

Client story 03Paul Harding

“I had an excellent experience working with the team throughout my dual citizenship process. Everything was handled professionally, efficiently and with great attention to detail from start to finish. A special thank you to Madara, who was my main point of contact throughout the process. She was fantastic to deal with—always responsive, helpful and clear about what was required at every stage. Having one person guiding me throughout made the entire experience feel incredibly straightforward and well managed. Navigating a citizenship application can feel complicated, but Madara and the team made the process smooth and stress-free. I was extremely happy with the service I received and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the firm to anyone looking for professional legal assistance in Sri Lanka. Thank you again to Madara and the entire team for all your help in successfully completing my dual citizenship process.”

“We received our residence visas with the support of the team. We were initially rejected, but they made sure everything was in order and we were ultimately granted the visas. We highly recommend them and thank everyone involved.”

Client story 05Tharindu Elkin, London

“I originally thought I could apply for Sri Lankan dual citizenship on my own, but it soon became clear how complicated my case was—and how different the process is in Sri Lanka, where it is slow, detailed and still largely completed by hand on paper. Venessa and the team understood my situation straight away and have guided me through every step, whether I was at home in the UK or in Sri Lanka for the in-person stages. I would recommend them to anyone who needs help with immigration to Sri Lanka, and I am looking forward to completing my dual citizenship with their support.”

Client story 06Gail Mason

“For Sri Lankan visa matters—new applications, renewals, extensions, business visas or residence questions—Ceylon Migration are fantastic. I have used this small, honest and efficient firm several times over the last three years. After nine years of visa experience, Ceylon Migration are a breath of fresh air. Business as it should be.”

Client story 07Alexander Combe
