Western Union doesn't allow transferring from Sri Lanka to USA. You need a bank to bank transfer. Else, if you have a debit card and PayPal, you can transfer it to the person in US. Whats the purpose, amount, whether you have a RFC account, share the details here.

as far I found out:
you still need approval from Exchange regulation to send money abroad.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I struggle a long time to send money back to Europe.
If you have a suggestion how to do it, I will be really happy.

all abroad money transfers by a bank is completely locked. and impossible without approval
from the exchange control of the central bank.

Hello,

You can send money from Sri Lanka to a foreign country through Seylan Bank. Even I struggled last year to find a reliable way to send money abroad. Many friends recommended me to send money through Seylan Bank as they offer a fast and convenient service, and I am truly happy with the service I've received. Check out their website to learn what exactly you need to do - https://www.seylan.lk/
