Hi me and my best friend are planing to start up a small restaurant in Sri Lanka. we already have a place to rent. just need to know about all permits. recidence visa. heard about BOI that we need to registrate our company there before we can legally work in SL. Talked wih the embassy in Stockholm Sweden and they didnt know much exceept the procedure is slow and it takes time to do the regristration with BOI- Board of investment. What are the costs for a regristration ? and what is a long process? is it sure that we can get a recidence visa after this and how hard is that to get ? Last of all , is there another way thats legal to work in Sri Lanka. Thank you
