Documents

What to have ready.

You only need two documents to apply. The rest are collected once an employer selects you.

  • Your CV (PDF or Word)
  • Passport copy — photo page
  • A phone or WhatsApp number

After you are selected

  • Original passport
  • National Identity Card (NIC) copy
  • Educational and professional certificates
  • Experience letters from past employers
  • Driving licence (driver positions)
  • Passport-size photographs
  • Police clearance (if the employer requires it)
  • Medical report from an approved centre (we arrange this)

Safe migration

Travel safely. Work with confidence.

Working abroad should change your life for the better. These checks protect you, whichever agency you choose.

  • Use licensed agencies only

    Work only with SLBFE-licensed agencies. Ours are nos. 833, 2898, 864 and 3368 — you can verify any licence with the SLBFE.

  • Register with the SLBFE

    Registration before you leave is required by law and connects you to SLBFE welfare and insurance schemes.

  • Understand your contract

    Check salary, hours, contract length, accommodation and leave before you sign.

  • Protect your passport

    Never hand it to unlicensed sub-agents. Keep copies and get a receipt for any payment.

  • Keep your family informed

    Share your employer’s name, address and phone number before you travel.

  • Know where to get help

    Save the SLBFE hotline (1989) and your destination’s Sri Lankan embassy contacts.
