ගම්පහ · கம்பஹா
Gampaha is the airport district — and one of our biggest application sources outside Colombo. Most students reach our Rajagiriya head office in under an hour for their face-to-face consultation.

No office in Gampaha — here's how it works.
How we work
We don't have an office in Gampaha — here's what we do instead
Our nearest office to you is in Rajagiriya (~30 km, ~45 min by car). 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. Train (Negombo / Veyangoda line), bus, or a short drive on the A1/A3 highways — Colombo is barely a commute from anywhere in Gampaha.
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 Gampaha students choose Lanka Scholar
The airport-district advantage
Living near Bandaranaike International cuts the visa-biometric / departure-day logistics significantly. We work this into the timeline — Gampaha students typically need fewer total Colombo trips than students from further afield.
Strong school feeder pipeline
Lyceum Wattala, Maris Stella Negombo, De Mazenod Kandana and the Holy Family network produce strong A-L profiles every intake. We track which UK, Australian, and US programmes typically accept their graduates.
A visit without a full day off
Unlike students from Kandy or further, Gampaha students can book a visit at our Rajagiriya office without planning a full day's trip — fit it around school, work or the train timetable.
