    Only {Country_Name} residents can hold their money, others money will be converted. (But also you have to prove your an resident immediately .)
    Not sure if they will convert the money you had already brought in BEFORE the conversion rules was bought.

    But as of now If you are doing a job abroad (have an employment visa) they will not convert. If you are doing free lancing or working on contract for a foreign company from SL but getting paid in foreign currency, then they will convert it. This has been the case for a few months now. Nothing new. Shit is called export proceeds.

    බොරු දාලා මිනිස්සු අවුස්සන්න එපා බිජ්ජෝ. Work agreement දීලා හදලා තියෙන NRFC account වලට අවුලක් නෑ. ලංකාවේ ඉඳන් $ හොයන අයගේ account තමයි හැම මාසෙම 7 වෙනිදට auto convert වෙන්නේ.

    seems like banks are running on capitol control.
    Yes , what ever $ comes gov take them . Better to get much as black market $ euro notes and keep them at house . Do not think about rate take ruppies out and take black market ones . In one point you can sell them to someones hand on profit .

    Send your $ to offshore accounts and keep them out of SL if you dont want to convert them . Try wise like accounts (no idea if SL people can open acc now but try )
