Our nearest office to you is in Rajagiriya (~225 km, ~5 hours 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.

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.

fingerprint Step 3

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.

FAQ

Serving Polonnaruwa students

Do you have an office in Polonnaruwa?

expand_more
No — we have three offices (Rajagiriya head office, plus Jaffna and Matara), and none is in the North Central Province. Polonnaruwa students book their in-person consultation at Rajagiriya, roughly 225 km away. Parent meetings can run in Sinhala or English, and Tamil-speaking families can ask for a Tamil-fluent counsellor when they book.

How does the Colombo trip work?

expand_more
Most Polonnaruwa families do a single overnight Colombo trip, combining the consultation visit with another errand. The drive is ~5 hours via the A11. Book your day and time before you travel.

What about agricultural / irrigation programmes?

expand_more
Wageningen (Netherlands) is one of the world's top agri-universities; Australia (Adelaide, Melbourne) and NZ (Lincoln, Massey) are also strong. Germany has free-tuition agriculture programmes that fit budget-tight families.

Free for Polonnaruwa students?
