Trincomalee — port city, naval base, mixed Tamil/Sinhala/Muslim demographics. We don't have an office in the Eastern Province, so Trincomalee students book a face-to-face consultation at our Rajagiriya head office, reachable by direct train.

How we work
We don't have an office in Trincomalee — here's what we do instead
Our nearest office to you is in Rajagiriya (~260 km, ~6 hours by train or 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 Trincomalee–Colombo Fort trains (including an overnight service), or intercity buses on the A6 via Habarana and Kurunegala. 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.

Why Trincomalee students choose Lanka Scholar
Port-economy programme matching
The Trincomalee port and Hambantota port-trust development have created real interest in maritime business, logistics, and naval engineering programmes. We can point to specific UK / Australian / Singaporean programmes with strong placement in that sector.
Tamil, Sinhala, or English
Tell us your preferred language when you book and we match you with a counsellor who speaks it. Mixed-language family meetings work naturally.
Direct train to Colombo
Trincomalee has a direct rail link to Colombo Fort — roughly 6 hours, with an overnight option — and Rajagiriya is a short ride from Fort. Book your consultation day in advance and plan the trip around it.
