Schools here its not like giving temperory service..when it comes kids education..its a long term thing, you cant have subscription model, its better for ur kid to have a longlasting permenant education in one place..
@@halfrussian lot of foreigners live in sri lanka jobs and businesses, i dnt know about residency but you can live in sri lanka...without any question..
It's impossible to live without visa. If it's finished we have to prolong it. I didn't know that we can prolong it without leaving the country. Usually in other countries they demand to leave the country and to prolong it in another one. I hope we'll be able to prolong it without leaving. One guy told me that's possible.
You can renew your visa 3 times, UpTo 270 days in total 🙄 after that you can exist Sri Lanka ((take a trip to India) and re enter Sri Lanka and keep renewing the visa for another 270 days and so on 🤔 I'm not sure but you can ask the immigration office 🙄
@@halfrussian Your culture is Russian/European. Can you really fit in Sri Lanka?India? Not easy. Why don't you try to go to Europe via Turkey, or Cairo, etc? Will be easier for you and your family to fit in there culturally than in Asia.
@@halfrussian I saw it and I'm sorry about that. It was wrong. However, culturally, India and Sri Lanka are different from your European culture and lifestyle. How can you adjust? If you were Tajik or Kazakh, it's be easier, but you're not. Whether you stay in South Asia for a month or a year, it will be hard, because you can't live a European/Western lifestyle. How can you culturally adjust?
It's good to get things off your chest and talk about the difficulties. By doing so sometimes you come up with an idea. Sanctions make things difficult but you are very resourceful and will overcome the problems. This I'm sure of👍. Keep us up to date. And try not to stress out. Take care my friend 💕
Sorry to hear of the struggles for you and your family in Sri Lanka. It has to be so hard for the 3 of you in a strange country and trying to find your way. Hope you can find a good school for your son to attend. If he was happy and prospering there in school it would give you and your wife a better feeling of being there. At least your son has two parents that love him and are trying to give him the best life possible.
For any foreigners it’s difficult to adjust to a new country. For you and Sasha it’s more difficult because you don’t know if you’ll get residency status. I pray that you will get the status so that you can stay in Sri Lanka long term and that Bagdan can go to school. It’s so hard for all of you. Take care, ❤️🇨🇦
Oh boy. Really a tough situation for all of you. Don't worry about not being able to always be positive. You are amazingly positive already, and besides, it would not be realistic and might even be dangerous if you caused other Russian families or individuals to think that everything is just easy. So sorry that families like yours are so much affected by this crap. 😢 Stay strong and enjoy the adventure in whatever way you. can. ❤
I'm sure it is very difficult. Maybe you can start a breakfast club there like Konstantine of Inside Russia channel did. Just invite people to come meet you for breakfast or lunch on your social media accounts and see if anyone shows up. Konstantine said it took a while for someone to show up but now he has over 400 members that come a few at a time to each breakfast. Good luck.
I was thinking of that as well. Do they use telegram in Sri Lanka or do Russians in Sri Lanka use it? That is where he started posting, in groups about Uzbekistan I guess. The internet is a good thing. There have to be people there. I have heard that there are people there. From Russia I mean. I don't know. I don't know how telegram works. But I am assuming that there are groups. (One thing I know about telegram is that it told my roommate I was on it. Probably only him. He is the only person who knows the particular phone number that I used when I joined. But I just joined some groups of Russians that I follow on RUclips, just in case they got kicked off RUclips. I don't really say anything and in some of the places I can't anyway)
maybe in a few days you will hear some cheery news, - I am not surprised by your difficulties, 1st hard lesson in life - life is not fair, good people are open and genuine, you must learn to be more street smart, - next lesson you have to learn to pick your battles, and to win a war sometimes you have to lose a few battles, with regard to the school nearby, i hope you understand everything i'm trying to say
It can be a difficult time to make friends in a new place even if you speak the language. But you guys are always having to move which adds a new layer of difficulty. However i think if Bagdan was around other kids daily, he would find a way to communicate. Difficulties can be an opportunity for growth even though it is completely understandable to not want to every time.
Hi bro What you said is 100% Correct the people's mostly think the you had been traveling from another which means your rich and charge you something higher but that's not the truth I have spoken with foreigners who have visitors to sri lanka but there all not rich some work as waiters, bar girls, office girl or boy with lower salary or wages do visit sri lanka So please guys don't judge a book buy it's cover Each and everyone work hard for their living everyday I always respect other people Hope things will go your way special with you kids studies Best of luck I am from Colombo
It seems that you are finding difficulties in adjusting to the situation of being a foreigner in a foreign land. Obviously the people seeing you and your family as different, assume that you must be tourists and have plenty of money to spend! Unfortunately your situation is more a need to find somewhere where you and your family can settle down and earn enough money to support you and your family. It is similar to the displaced people escaping violence or poverty in their home countries and finding barriers and hostility in countries that view these people as different and a threat to their homeland! This is now the situation in theU.S. where thousands of poor people are attempting to seek asylum and are being jailed and their children have been forcefully taken and lost in the bureaucracy! They are also denied entry and shipped back to their home countries that they were desperately attempting to leave! At least Sri Lanka is not hostile to you nor your family! Keep working at finding solutions to your problems and though frustrating this country is friendly and the people will assist you in finding solutions instead of making you feel as a threat and as the “Other” to be feared and kicked out! There are silver linings to every cloud!
Yeah, I never thought in my life that I will be in such a situation. Placing people in jails just for asking for help is not nice. That for sure should be organized in other form. Maybe to test people about their intentions, to make kind of exams, but not to place people in jail for a month or many months even. We're in 2023 after all. The time when travel to space already possible.
Luis Gomez , I will speak up here, I live in Canada until recently Roxham road was open where people could surpass the whole port of entry thing into Canada. People were pouring in and we do not have enough housing, it has created a backlog for legal immigrants, guess who pays for the housing of those who entered Canada illegally, WE do through the taxpayers and due to lack of housing they are put up in hotels. Same for the US, there is a reason for legal migration into a country, currently there are thousands of South Americans at the Mexico and US border. The US just can't have an open border and let everyone in. Every single person needs to be vetted, and cleared for the safety of all. Those deemed not eligible are returned. Do you realize sir how many homeless people there are in the US and Canada right now, the high inflation for citizens, high cost of housing.... Perhaps this gives a window of perception into your rant. Borders are there for a reason. There are legal means for those escaping their countries, there are legal ways of entry, no one can just show up at a border with little to no identification and be expected to just enter, that is ridiculous.
@@halfrussian Yes it’s terrible, the U.S. is cancelling restrictions imposed by COVID at the border and approximately 65,000 people are expected to try and get asylum and the Republican Party is doing everything possible to not allow them entry! The inflation is high and U.S. citizens are flocking to Mexico because the cost of living is much cheaper here and their lifestyle is improved! There are also senseless shootings of people considered foreigners and a family was shot to death by a terrorist because they were thought to be foreigners! This was in Texas!
@@terrylynn9984 as well most Americans, I mean with generations were immigrants some day in the far past. That mean that some immigrants can be useful for the country. I always thought that US is the most powerful country mostly because it has people from all around the world. That enrich the culture, gives better perspectives to the country. I see multi nationalism in US very good. Unlike other countries that don't have that amount of foreigners. Immigrants if they are well organized, they could bring a lot of benefits to the country. I'm all about organized immigration. Never meant illegal ones.
You want to meet Russian s go to down south there are soo many living in Sri Lanka doing bussines. But if u want to send ur son to a school offcose then u have to stay in Colombo. It's warm only this piriod . Take care
I'll be happy to do so. I'll learn about how to be a guide here. For now I have a tourist visa, so I can't work legally. There should be a way to make a work visa.
@@redlanka2504 there are rules to follow to work here. I'll need a work visa. It's not like I just want and work. As well with tourist visa I have I don't have the right to work. I need to learn about how to make a work visa. There is an immigration law. It's serious.
So I searched online expat community sri lanka and they gave some resources I would try looking for that and the name of the city you are in a group or a club can help you make friends
@@halfrussian ive been a banker for 10 years there are lot of ways to open up a account for any one, but you have to fall into that category. NRFC SFIDA for investors/property buyers SIA in ur case depending on ur source of income and what ure planning to do in future you have to allign those ambitions when you meet an officer at a bank, and may be ask for the account it self, but if you cant open up an account with rubel , since its not a world reserve currency. So ur source of income if it comes through paypal..its fine
DEAR,SIR,AS SRI LANKEN SORRY FOR THIS YOUR ALL DEFICALATES. DEAR,SIR IN SRILANKA EVERY THING IS MESS. SO ITS IN WHEN YOI TRAVELNG, WHEN YOU EAT,WHEN YOU IN THE BANK,WHEN YOU IN THESCHOOL AND EVRY WEARE. SO SIR, DONT GIVE TIPS. TRY TO BE NORMEL.TRY TO BE HAPPY.THANKS SIR.
I’m pleased that you got the account created for you.I’m surprised that why foreigners like you can’t open accounts in Sri Lanka.we should re look at these decades old regulations and it’s high time to reform those to suit 21 st century. I’m really sorry to hear the difficulties you are facing right now and hope everything is fine. Just post us about the immigration response. Take care.
I was surprised myself. Always hearing that Sri Lanka is friendly with Russia. But when it comes to people, it's another story. It was the same in Turkey. But at least here they are clear about their immigration policy. Clearer I would say. And yeah, even I told them that I gonna spend money here, that means supporting Sri Lankan economy. But they said no anyway. Strange world we're living in. When a little family with a child are sanctioned everywhere.
@halfrussian Did you know that Sergey Viktorovich Lavrov the current Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia (Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation) has learnt the Sinhala language which is native to Sri Lanka? Why not learn some Sinhala while your family is in Sri Lanka? Your son can meet up with many Sri Lankan kids of his age if he gets the chance to learn the Sinhala language while in Sri Lanka. Knowing the Sinhala language will also help your family to live in Sri Lanka and communicate with many people who don't understand English very much in Sri Lanka. Check with your son's school in Sri Lanka as you might be able to find a teacher for your son to learn the Sinhala language and as a kid it's easier to pickup a new language other than Russian, and there is no other place better than being in Sri Lanka to learn the Sinhala language.
There are so many Russians live in Sri Lanka , SriLankan married to Russian ladies if you may visit down south like Hikkduwa you find lots of Russians there.
I'm sorry you are experiencing difficulties. Thank you for sharing this with us. At least you could open up a bank account. Keep going forward. We're here for you if you need us. I'm sending positive vibes!
Sri Lanka, India Turkey, etc., are more multicultural friendly, and we know how Russians and other Europeans all hate that. Why are they in multicultural countries if they hate these things so much? Shouldn't they be in their precious European lands? I yeah, they were kicked out, I forgot. HAHA. Shows that the monoculturalism thing is why Europe has always been at war and why the rest of the world shouldn't adopt that mentality.
For that we opened a bank account. We couldn't link it with PayPal. I had an account there and I closed it. Now I opened for my wife. We tried to link it with PayPal and we couldn't. The next week we'll go to the bank again to try to link it there. By phone they couldn't help.
I am so sorry Snouci that you have so many difficulties. We are here to hear you and support you, so dont worry about talking about it. It always good to unload your worries. I suppose that you cannot count on the Russian Embassy in Colombo. Do you still have your Algerian passport as you could ask for help in the Algerian Embassy. All the Embassies and Consulate do support very well all their ressortissants. I know by experience ! As for the International schools, unfortunately they are expensive and have extensive rules most of the time. Hopefully you find an English speaking one that will be more accommodating. I am glad that you sorted out the bank problem. Your persistence paid off ! As for the heat, unfortunately you have to deal with it , no shortcuts there ! I did not know about the heating food that you mentioned. I will try not eating the food you mentioned when we reach the top temperatures in Summer ! It can be really super hot at these times when the temps reach above 46 degrees Celsius ! You having no private transport also makes it very difficult to escape the heat. Best wishes. À bientôt Jos
@@JosetteThompson thanks. About the Algerian passport I can't use because I don't have a visa there. So as an Algerian I'm illegal here. I'm legal as a Russian.
Stay cool brother we all your friends thats why we subscribe you not only for some places getting so much of money from us too so you get safe and find good place to buy goods Other thing dont try every things in colombo area near to the colombo areas too having very good international school example arround wattala gampaha etc. Not tourists areas so please try to settle arround that areas if you need any help for us please reply 💙💙💙💙💙👌👌👌
Sorry for you why you choose Sri Lanka it’s very hard for Owen citizens because government courpt I hope your son go school there I heard everything expensive lots of tourists avoid to go there some places to see they charge lots of money from tourists and locals cheap this country government all crooks sorry for Sri Lanka people also run run run my friend better you go Brazil lots of people moving there very good my advice thanks 🙏

For that we opened a bank account. We couldn't link it with PayPal. I had an account there and I closed it. Now I opened for my wife. We tried to link it with PayPal and we couldn't. The next week we'll go to the bank again to try to link it there. By phone they couldn't help.
I am so sorry Snouci that you have so many difficulties. We are here to hear you and support you, so dont worry about talking about it. It always good to unload your worries. I suppose that you cannot count on the Russian Embassy in Colombo. Do you still have your Algerian passport as you could ask for help in the Algerian Embassy. All the Embassies and Consulate do support very well all their ressortissants. I know by experience ! As for the International schools, unfortunately they are expensive and have extensive rules most of the time. Hopefully you find an English speaking one that will be more accommodating. I am glad that you sorted out the bank problem. Your persistence paid off ! As for the heat, unfortunately you have to deal with it , no shortcuts there ! I did not know about the heating food that you mentioned. I will try not eating the food you mentioned when we reach the top temperatures in Summer ! It can be really super hot at these times when the temps reach above 46 degrees Celsius ! You having no private transport also makes it very difficult to escape the heat. Best wishes. À bientôt Jos
@@JosetteThompson thanks. About the Algerian passport I can't use because I don't have a visa there. So as an Algerian I'm illegal here. I'm legal as a Russian.
Don't you still maybe have your Passport from Algeria, which you can use, or go to the Algerian embassy and get an Algerian passport? 🇿🇦
I have. But as an Algerian, I don't have visa. So I doubt they can open a bank account for an Algerian without visa. They always check that.
@@Wizardofwords-g7v maybe that's much better. I'll try to do that the next time.

It was cheaper to come here. As well the visa given for 180 days. It's the best choice we had. To fly to Brazil the ticket is very expensive.
