Service scope and fit
Review who this route fits, where it becomes risky, what VizeLanka checks and which nearby route may be cleaner.
Residence / Company Setup is for applicants whose Sri Lanka plan has moved beyond a simple tourist or business visit. A strong file explains why a company or local role exists, how the applicant will support the stay, what banking or registration steps are needed and how the residence timeline fits the business purpose. The starter package begins at 999 USD and covers route mapping, document planning and coordination logic. Official fees, company costs, banking steps and third-party charges are separate.
- Best for founders, operators and company-backed profiles whose Sri Lanka plan no longer fits repeated short ETA files.
- We clarify role, business purpose, source of funds, local address, banking sequence and residence timeline before formal steps.
- Starter package begins at 999 USD; official fees, company costs, banking steps and third-party charges are separate.
- If the profile is only a short market visit, Business ETA may be the cleaner first step.
Decision depth
Pause when

FAQ
Practical questions about fit, pricing, documents and official-decision boundaries.
Can residence be planned without a company?
It depends on the route; many business residence plans include a company structure.
Is a local bank account required?
Most corporate routes involve local banking at some stage.
Should I start with Business ETA first?
If the immediate goal is only meetings or market exploration, Business ETA may be the cleaner first step before company or residence planning.
What makes a company residence file weak?
Weak files usually have an unclear role, thin business purpose, unsupported funds, no realistic address plan or a timeline that does not match the intended stay.
Are company setup costs included in the starter package?
No. The starter package covers planning and coordination logic; official, company, banking and third-party costs are handled separately.
When does a company plan need residence review?
When the applicant has a local role, repeated business activity, investment intent or a stay plan that no longer fits short ETA logic.
What is the main company-residence risk?
The main risk is treating a business setup or residence plan as a simple short visit without explaining role, funds and timeline.
