Overseas Employment and Migration

Sri Lankan authorities are focusing on sending workers abroad through official channels. The SLBFE has announced plans to facilitate large-scale overseas employment opportunities for Sri Lankan workers.

250,000 workers abroad by 2026? Bold strategy—it's like saying "our economy is doing great, please leave." At this rate, Sri Lanka will have more people working overseas than actually living here; we'll just be a really nice country to visit on weekends.
