“Contact Sri Lanka” Online Portal for Overseas Sri Lankans

The Ministry of Foreign Relations has created a website for all Sri Lankans who reside or travel overseas for studies, employment or other reasons to register voluntarily on “Contact Sri Lanka” with their contact details.Registering online in the web portal will allow the Ministry to reach out and provide assistance during emergencies such as the COVID19 outbreak. This Portal will connect Overseas Sri Lankans with stakeholders in Sri Lanka and the network of Sri Lanka Missions abroad.

In the long term, the Portal is expected to serve as an official source of information and will facilitate Overseas Sri Lankans to obtain services offered by the Government.

The website also provides news updates and has a mechanism for requesting assistance from the ministry.
