Ampara District · Eastern Province
Study abroad from Ampara
අම්පාර · அம்பாறை
Ampara District is one of Sri Lanka's most diverse — Muslim, Tamil, and Sinhalese communities all sizeable. We don't have an office in the Eastern Province, so Ampara students book a face-to-face consultation at our Rajagiriya head office — a long trip, so we help you make one visit count.
verified100% free for students. Universities pay us, not you. How?
Consultations are in person only, at any of our three offices · What to expect
No office in Ampara — here's how it works.
How we work
We don't have an office in Ampara — here's what we do instead
Our nearest office to you is in Rajagiriya (~330 km, ~7–8 hours by bus). Every consultation happens face to face — we don't do phone or online consultations — so you book a visit at our Rajagiriya branch. After the visit, day-to-day document follow-ups can happen over WhatsApp or email.
Visit us in Rajagiriya
Book a day and time at our Rajagiriya branch. Your consultation is face to face with a counsellor — parents are welcome to come too. We talk through destinations, courses and your academic profile, and bring your originals (transcripts, NIC, passport) if you have them. Direct intercity buses run from Ampara and Kalmunai to Colombo; some coastal-belt families take the overnight Batticaloa–Colombo Fort train instead. Rajagiriya is a short ride from Fort or Pettah.
Follow-ups after your visit
Once we've agreed a plan in person, day-to-day document follow-ups for your university applications can happen over WhatsApp or email, so you don't need to travel for every small step.
Visa biometric in Colombo
Once your visa file is ready, you visit the VFS centre in Colombo for biometric capture. We book the slot, prepare the file, and walk you through what to bring. Same trip for every student in Sri Lanka — there's no district-level alternative.

Local advantage
Why Ampara students choose Lanka Scholar
Tamil, Sinhala, or English — your choice
Tell us your preferred language when you book and we match you with a counsellor who speaks it. Parent meetings can run in whichever language the family is most comfortable with — and we adapt the document walk-through accordingly.
Eastern Muslim community served
Akkaraipattu, Kalmunai, and Sammanthurai have large Muslim populations with Gulf and Malaysia ties. We shortlist Dubai, Malaysia, and Islamic-finance UK programmes alongside the conventional Western options.
Eastern Province scholarship awareness
Several UK and Australian universities run scholarships that prioritise applicants from under-represented regions — the East qualifies. We track these year-round and match Ampara profiles where possible.
