Candidate Guide
Frequently asked questions about working from home in Sri Lanka.
Everything you need to know about remote contracts, currency earnings, internet allowances, and avoiding scams.
Yes. Many verified Sri Lankan tech companies, BPOs, agencies, and international employers hire full-time and part-time remote staff. However, candidates must beware of fraudulent Telegram or Facebook groups demanding 'registration fees' or 'security deposits' for data entry or typing tasks. Legitimate employers never charge candidates money to start work.
The highest demand is in customer support & live chat (LKR 50,000–85,000/mo), software engineering (LKR 150,000–450,000/mo), digital marketing & SEO (LKR 60,000–120,000/mo), graphic design, content writing, and virtual administrative assistance.
Sri Lankan employers transfer salaries directly into your local commercial bank account (Commercial Bank, Sampath, HNB, NTB, etc.) via CEFT or SLIPS. Overseas employers typically pay via Wise, Payoneer, or direct international SWIFT wire transfers.
Yes. If you are hired under a permanent or fixed-term contract by an entity registered in Sri Lanka, statutory 8% employee EPF, 12% employer EPF, and 3% employer ETF are legally mandatory from your very first working month regardless of whether you work from home or the office.
Most roles require a laptop or desktop computer with at least 8GB RAM, a headset with microphone for customer-facing positions, and a reliable fiber or 4G broadband connection (SLT-Mobitel, Dialog, or Airtel) with a minimum speed of 25 Mbps. Many employers provide a monthly data or internet allowance.
