Global Ambition. Island Roots

Global Ambition. Island Roots.

Welcome to The Global Lankan.

 

If you are reading this, you are probably in the middle of a big transition.

Maybe you are sitting in a cafe in Colombo, staring at a visa application that makes no sense. Maybe you are freezing in a London winter, missing home and trying to figure out why your bank took such a huge chunk of the money you just sent to your parents. Or maybe you are dreaming of a life where you can earn in Dollars or Pounds but live where the sun shines.

We built this site because we have been there.

Moving your life across borders is one of the bravest things you can do. But let’s be honest: it is also a headache. Between the paperwork, the hidden banking fees, and the culture shock, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

That’s where we come in.

What We Do (and What We Don’t)

  • 1

    The Global Lankan isn’t a news site. We aren’t here to tell you about politics or gossip.

    Our goal is simple: To help you make smarter decisions with your money and your migration plans.

    We are a practical toolkit for the modern Sri Lankan.

    Our goal is simple: To help you make smarter decisions with your money and your migration plans.

We focus on three things:

 

  • Migration: Breaking down the complex paths to the UK, Australia, Canada, and beyond. No jargon, just steps.

  • Money: We hate hidden fees. We ruthlessly test money transfer apps, banks, and insurance providers to ensure you (and your family) keep more of what you earn.

  • Lifestyle: How to thrive abroad without losing your connection to home.

Why Trust Us?

 

The internet is full of generic advice written by people who have never set foot in Sri Lanka or applied for a visa.

This site is different. We research, we test, and we dig deep.

A Note on Transparency: To keep this site free, we sometimes use affiliate links. This means if you click a link to a service like Wise or Remitly and sign up, we might earn a small commission.

Here is our promise to you: We never recommend a service we wouldn’t use ourselves or recommend to our own mothers. If a service has high fees or bad support, we will tell you to avoid it. Period.
