Steps

  1. Verify worker's SLBFE registration, insurance policy validity and actual cover rather than assuming every injury is eligible

    slbfe.lk (opens in a new tab)
  2. Review the SLBFE page's six-month submission statement and obtain current insurer conditions immediately

  3. Prepare foreign medical certificates and local medical records; page requests local certificate within seven days of arrival in some cases

  4. Gather passport/arrival evidence, receipts, bank documents and insurance request letter where required

  5. Submit through current SLBFE/insurer route and preserve actual receipt for processing
