Sri Lanka → South Korea
A practical route overview for Sri Lankan applicants exploring South Korea work visa pathways, covering EPS-style employment routes, employer matching, Korean language requirements, documents, costs, risks, and official-source checks.
Sri Lanka → Germany
Sri Lankan citizens who want to live and work in Germany generally need a German national visa for long-term employment. The exact visa route depends on the purpose of stay, job offer, qualification recognition, and whether the occupation is regulated. The German Embassy in Colombo says Sri Lankan and Maldivian citizens, and certain third-country nationals residing there, need a visa for long-term travel to Germany, and the intended purpose determines the visa type.
