Relocating to Galle

Hello everyone

I consider to relocate from Philippines to Sri Lanka, to Galle.

My questions are

  • How much would cost a furnished聽 one bedroom appartment in Galle?
  • Is Sri Lanka noisy as Philipinnes like, rooster crowing nonstop, dogs barking, traffic etc?
  • What is about a tourist visa , I am 71 , is there any special visa for retired, I am Turkish citizen.

Thanks

Nicholas

@ncicekci7164 Sri Lanka NOISY! & most houses have single glazed windows. In addition to the animals & traffic you鈥檒l have teabun man theme tune, the ice cream man & the random pedal bike seller shouting, as well as the religious songs. Unless you pick a secluded spot that is.


Depends on your style, most rental places come furnished. You can checkout ikman for rent & singer / arpico website for rough price of the type of goods that you like. You can also find slightly cheaper alternatives in local shops.


I don鈥檛 know re the tourist visa, I believe its 3 months you get. After that you can renew online once or visit the colombo immigration office (about 2-3 hours away visa highway from galle). I think the maximum is 6 months then you have to leave, but I havent had a tourist visa in years here.

Thanks Sinead,

For聽 your insightful response ,聽 appreciateD.

Is the people educated, respect聽 others, especially聽 expats?

Here in Philipinnes, no one reads, let alone bookstore is available.

@ncicekci7164 There are educated people all across the island, but I鈥檝e only found book stores in colombo (one galle face mall, some on galle road or around Colombo). I鈥檓 sure I remember 1/2 in Galle.


Emmmm, you鈥檒l be talked about, but in Sinhala or Tamil so likely wont understand at first & lots of questions for you. Alot of information is still word of mouth so its quite handy to speak with the locals. They are friendly like in the phillipines & will help out if they can. Theres a large expat community in Galle so I鈥檓 sure you鈥檒l find it easy to adjust, especially if youve already lived in Asia.

Hi Sinead,

Where are you from ? I am Turkish.

Considering seriously to relocate to Galle, what can you tell me about Galle.

Is it boring, are there occuring cultural events, like concerts, theather etc. ?

I am working online a couple hours daily, what can I undertake in City Galle?

Are you happy living in Sri Lanka?

What do you miss?

Thanks for your response
