Extended Visa

7 years ago
I am wanting to move to Sri Lanka this November or December of 2017. I am 40 yrs old and will be looking to do some work with one of my friends small businesses. It seems difficult to get a residency visa. Any tips on this . Or should I just enter the country on a travel visa and extend this for 90 days? Is that process difficult? Can I do it more than once? Once those extensions are over I must leave the country? Yes? If so, how long do I need to be out of the country to come back and do this all over...meaning travel visa then into extensions. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you:)
