About expathjobs.com

expathjobs.com is an independent, free resource built to help Sri Lankan job seekers verify whether a foreign employment recruitment agency is legitimately licensed by the Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment (SLBFE) — before they pay any money, sign any contract, or hand over their passport.

Where the data comes from

The agency directory on this site is synced from SLBFE's public registers of licensed, suspended, and cancelled recruitment agencies. Our copy of this data was last synced on August 22, 2026, and currently reflects 1,029 valid, 106 suspended, and 1,948 cancelled agency records.

Because this is a periodic sync rather than a live connection, there may be a short delay before very recent license changes appear here. For time-sensitive decisions — especially large payments — cross-check directly with SLBFE.

District tagging is approximate

District labels shown in the directory are inferred from the free-text registered address on file and are meant only to help you browse — they are not an official SLBFE field and may occasionally be inaccurate.

Job listings

Job listings are submitted directly by agencies through this site, not by SLBFE. To reduce the risk of scam postings, we only allow submissions from a license number that currently matches a valid entry in our directory at the time of posting. This is a safeguard, not a guarantee — always independently verify any specific job offer and agency before proceeding.

Questions or corrections

If you believe information on this site is inaccurate or out of date, please verify directly with SLBFE and, where possible, let us know so we can investigate.
