Get Ready For Your Trip | Coliving Sri Lanka

Setting up for your digital nomad adventure in Sri Lanka involves more than packing your laptop and swimwear. Let's dive into the logistics, covering the essentials you need to sort out before jetting off. Here's your pre-departure checklist to make sure your adventure is smooth sailing:


  • Visa (for Digital Nomads): Although discussions are underway for a digital nomad visa in Sri Lanka, it hasn’t been officially launched yet. Once it’s confirmed, you’ll see it here first!

  • Health Precautions: The CDC and WHO recommend several vaccines for Sri Lanka, like hepatitis A and typhoid. Also, don’t forget to stock up on mosquito repellent; dengue isn’t on your bucket list! Pro tip: local pharmacies are well-stocked but might not carry your specific brand, so bring essential meds.

  • Health insurance: Don't forget about healthcare. As a non-resident, you will definitely need private health insurance. Do your research and consider international insurance providers like Safetywing.

  • Local SIM Card: Stay connected! Once you land, grab a local SIM card for reliable internet and calls. Providers like Dialog and Mobitel are popular choices. This isn’t just for Instagramming your adventures – having a local number can be a lifesaver for bookings and emergencies. 

  • Cultural Etiquette: Sri Lankans are super friendly, but respecting local customs is key. For example, it's polite to refuse the first offer of tea or food (they’ll insist, don’t worry). And remember, head nodding here might not mean what you think – it’s a local quirk! 


Remember, preparation is key, but so is flexibility. Coliving in Sri Lanka is full of surprises, so embrace the unexpected with a smile!
