Hello everyone,

Embarking on an expat journey to Sri Lanka with children presents unique challenges, particularly concerning the financial considerations related to raising kids. Whether you are planning to relocate to Sri Lanka or have already begun your expat life, understanding these aspects will help you manage your budget and ensure the well-being of your children in their new environment.

To kick off the discussion, we have gathered a few questions. We encourage you to share your experiences and insights on the topic:

How do the costs of raising a child in Sri Lanka differ from your home country? What is the most significant expense related to childhood in Sri Lanka?

Are child-related services in Sri Lanka affordable?

Is there any financial support available for expat families, or is it reserved only for local citizens?

What is the estimated cost of medical expenses and routine healthcare for your child?

Are there affordable options for child activities, such as sports clubs or music lessons?

What are your tips to manage your budget effectively in Sri Lanka  (clothing and equipment rentals, swaps, parent groups, etc.)?

We look forward to hearing your responses and testimonials on this topic.
Thank you for your contributions.
