Sri Lanka offers opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, tourism, aviation, education, technology, finance and business services, with hospitality especially active in Colombo, the southern coast, Kandy and the cultural triangle. The island has a warm, welcoming culture influenced by Sinhalese, Tamil, Muslim and colonial traditions. Employees can enjoy beaches, national parks, mountains, historic cities and a generally relaxed lifestyle, although Colombo is busier and living costs are higher. Foreign nationals normally require an employer-sponsored work or residence visa and should confirm current requirements with the Sri Lankan Department of Immigration and Emigration before travelling. Employers may assist with permits, accommodation, meals, transport or medical coverage, but this varies by contract. Applicants should verify salary, housing, working hours and visa sponsorship directly with Shangri-La before accepting an offer.
