Benefits 2 - First, it's $5 cheaper and you don't have to queue at the airport to get it. And to change dollars - right at the exit from the baggage claim there will be 3 or 4 representatives of the bank (kiosks) there and change

Of course it's worth it!
1. Save $5.
2. Payment by card in UAH.
3. Do not waste time on the arrival procedure.
4. The most profitable way to change money is only at the Colombo airport upon arrival.

I confirm - saving 5 dollars. time - no, you will leave the airport together with everyone. the exchange at the airport is more profitable and reliable, buy a SIM card there, pay attention, they don’t feed you on the plane

+ from Ukraine, usually a long connection to Dubai airport.
I would recommend bringing food with you.
There, the prices were already huge, but with the modern exchange rate, it’s so in general.
For the price of 2 sandwiches there, you can go home to a normal restaurant at home.

If you decide to apply for a visa on arrival, give the amount in dollars without change, otherwise it will be given to you in rupees at a very unfavorable rate.

A month ago, everyone was given change in rupees, although this was not observed last year and the year before.

Regarding the exchange, money can be changed at the bank (with a passport) and at exchange offices and jewelry stores, if you are going to rest in a region with developed infrastructure, it may not be worth changing all the money upon arrival, if for example in Trincomal, then there exchangers are very tight, but in hotels the rate is much lower. In shops like Odel, supermarkets, a tea shop, at a silk factory, we paid with a hryvnia card, for excursions in dollars. Rupees are needed for food, fruits, for souvenirs in small shops,

We just returned on October 22, at the airport the rate was 137 and in Hikkaduwa 140 rupees for 1 dollar in Western without passports, in banks 139 with a passport.
I tried to apply for a visa from home on the site, I did everything right more than 5 times, just like 2 years ago, but! the payment button was not accepted, checked the money on the card is all intact.
Arriving in Colombo, a visa without any filling in the forms was put in the passport within 3 minutes !!! They filled out only the migration card, which was issued on the plane from Sharjah to Colombo. Samples of filling out the card are available on the JointUp website in the Sri Lanka Visas and Documents section.
Everything is fine!

In Chaaya Trans and now it is called Hikka Trans Cinnamon, there are no big storms, but it didn’t rain for very long every day because of this, a river with all the nasty things flowed from the village through the Trans beach, and it completely washed away the belt. When we went to the market, on the way back we swam near the boats at Smak and Dolphin. You won’t look at the Transa beach without tears. Soon they will put pipes in the sand and all the sewage will secretly flow directly into the ocean near the shore (the pipes have already been brought)

Well, of course, compared to the coast near Chaya, it’s “quiet”, but with a wind (according to the forecast) of 22 miles per hour, the storm was very, very, two ladies were carried away, the surfers could not pull one of them out, and the boat with the rescuers was far from the first time I was able to go out into the ocean, I see we were also lucky with the weather, it was also raining, but it didn’t pour from the river., it’s a pity the beach We swam near the boats on the quietest day, there were a lot of fish, but there was no visibility.
