Can I work in Sri Lanka?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Board of Investment factories can bring in technicians and skilled workers after a local-expertise check; other factories need a sector-ministry recommendation.
Before you apply: Some places test factory skills first: Japan's Specified Skilled Worker visa usually asks for a skills test and basic Japanese, and in Singapore, metal workers on a Work Permit must pass a safety course within 3 months of arriving.
Watch for: Line operators are usually hired locally, so expect technicians and managers only (judgement). Each factory has a pre-approved cap on foreign posts.
