Yes, Indians can buy here. Condominiums outright, land on long lease, and Port City apartments inside a special economic zone. Prices in Colombo sit well below Mumbai, Bengaluru and Dubai for comparable sea facing stock, and a USD 100,000 property investment can anchor a renewable 5 year residence visa.
Rules summarised from the Land (Restrictions on Alienation) Act and 2026 practice. Always confirm with a licensed Colombo property lawyer. We introduce you to ours.
Two and three bed units in Colombo 3, 4 and Dehiwala, bought for dollar linked rental yield from expats and long stay tourists. Entry from around USD 150k.
New builds inside the SEZ with its own regulatory regime and marina lifestyle. The long game on South Asia's newest address. Entry varies by tower and phase.
Galle and Weligama villa plays: long lease land, build or renovate, run as a boutique rental when you are not there. The Bali playbook, 4 hours closer to home.
Invest USD 100,000 or more in qualifying property through an Inward Investment Account and you can apply for a renewable 5 year residence visa. Larger investments unlock longer options. For families wanting a second base near India, this is the cleanest route on the table.
We send a vetted shortlist with real prices and rental histories. You fly in for one inspection weekend, or we video walk every unit.
Independent lawyer verifies title, condo plan approval and developer standing. Non negotiable, and it costs less than you think.
Funds come from India via banking channels into an Inward Investment Account, keeping your repatriation rights clean and your CA happy with FEMA.
Deed executed, registered, and if you want, our partner starts renting it the same month.
