    yeah, because i make foreign income.. so increase in cost of living not gonna apply to me...
    and i know no country can block importing vehicles or luxury items forever..
    even if we get bankrupt and go to IMF in few years time they will allow imports.. I don't need CBSL's $ stake, i can provide my own $

    So you're depending on foreign dollars ?

    What are the other forums you see? And how much of your time do you devote towards those forums?

    The same amount of time i spend on elakiri. I can't disclose the names because i don't want stalkers from elakiri coming there to stalking me there. Lol

    True we are talking about Sri Lankans. why do you think other Sri Lankans should prefer Sri Lanka only ? They're not prisoners of this country. It's obvious they can do better life in a foreign nations as well.
    again do NOT generalize..
    average joe who do 9-5 and feels like salary is not enough for living should find a job in another country...
    even specific business who get better opportunities in some other market should move...

    No i am not generalizing you with the average 9 to 5 person. I'm talking about other Norwegian salmon fillet eating business guys like you who can live a better life abroad. :)

    I can migrate easily but i can't grow my wealth at this pace after that..
    i prefer to grow my wealth, travel the world... buy expensive (may be wasting money) shit i like...

    How can you do it so freely having one of the worst passports in the world ? Even a backpacker coming from a 1st world country will have a powerful passport than rich ass business guys in Sri Lanka.

    https://economynext.com/sri-lanka-passport-ranked-among-bottom-10-pct-of-the-world-39425/
    all those shit apply to 9-5 guys...
    if you have a credible business with good turnover and assets they don't deny your visa request....
    I already have few first world visas on my passport

    I am asking why you should waste your time and energy on embassies and visa processing centers when citizens from 1st world countries can visit most countries visa free or visa on arrival ? :D this is a deep topic i can discuss for hours. I assume we already discussed about the cons of having one of the worst passports in the world in another thread. Need to search that thread again.

    If requesting is begging then you will have to beg for many things in first world countries too...
    i prefer fat cash cheque over visa free travel... :lol:
    If i really want to travel visa free i can get dual citizenship from a good passport country who is not gonna tax me if i am not living there...

    Depends.
    Either you will get to build your own monopoly based financial empire or get shot and die somewhere.

    depends on how you play your cards.

    Dont you have to beg anything in Sri Lanka ? People are begging for milk powder, petrol ,gas, etc. Specially rich people are begging the rulers to open up vehicle imports again :D some guys are begging Sri Lanka not to convert their dollars in to rupees :D


    Now you're coming to the point. So you accept travel becomes easy for a citizen coming from a country with good passport ranking.

    not where we are heading "RICH"is going to be minority and poor will rob the rich for resources , there will be rape, murder and robbers .. chaos

    This is true

    i already have multiple vehicles so not in a rush for a new one. If requesting/applying is begging then people who migrated beg the most.. they are in a new country so they beg for a job, house to rent, vehicle, health, schools, gov affairs endless...

    I have already travelled a lot and visa process is not a burden for my schedule, i normally get accepted without any hassle
    if i want visa free i can go with the previously mentioned tax free dual citizenship passport route.. but no such requirement raised yet
