Location Services & Permits Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka delivers beaches, UNESCO forts, tea estates, highland railways, ancient ruins, wildlife parks and urban Colombo — often within a few hours of each other. We photograph, film and log locations with sun paths, access routes, power availability and noise considerations.

Our scouts know which locations need archaeological clearance, which beaches are tide-dependent and which colonial buildings allow rigging. That detail saves hours on shoot day.

We secure the permits productions need: Civil Aviation Authority drone clearances, Department of Archaeology permissions, national park filming passes, railway filming agreements, police support, customs temporary import for gear and location release forms.

Our Colombo team has long-standing relationships with the government offices that issue these approvals, so applications move faster and with fewer surprises.

Moving a film crew across Sri Lanka requires more than minibuses. We arrange AC crew transport, equipment trucks, generator trailers, ferry bookings, flights to Jaffna or Trincomalee, and accommodation that matches cast and crew tier requirements.

For remote and expedition shoots, we add satellite communications, portable power, medical support and emergency evacuation planning.
