Investor visa files need a structured story
A Sri Lanka investor visa file should connect capital, source of funds, banking, company or investment purpose and the long stay goal in one readable structure. This audience needs more trust and clearer boundaries than a simple short-stay ETA applicant.
Investor, company and residence comparison
| Profile | Likely route to review | Evidence focus | Risk to avoid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exploratory market visit | Business ETA | Meeting purpose, invitation, company context | Using investor language too early |
| Company-backed operator | Residence / Company Setup | Role, business plan, local steps, funds | Weak link between company and stay purpose |
| Capital-backed long stay | Investor / Golden Visa | Capital, source of funds, banking, residence goal | Unclear funds or unsupported investment story |
Official fee vs private consulting
Investor and company routes can involve official fees, banking steps, third-party charges and professional consulting. VizeLanka separates consulting scope from official authority decisions and does not guarantee approval, banking outcomes or processing time.
What an investor discovery call should clarify
- Capital source and how it can be documented
- Whether the goal is market visit, company setup, residence or investment
- Which documents are ready and which would create risk
- Whether family, tax, banking or company questions need separate professional advice

FAQ
Is investor visa the same as business ETA?
No. Business ETA usually fits short commercial visits; investor or residence planning is deeper and more evidence-heavy.
Do you review source of funds?
We review whether the file story and documents appear coherent. Legal, tax and regulated financial advice may require separate professionals.
Can you guarantee a Golden Visa or investor outcome?
No. We provide consulting and file-structure support; official decisions and banking outcomes are outside our control.
