I am planning to work for a company in Sri Lanka. I am not sure if it is possible to work for a company in Sri Lanka and be in Finland at the same time.
The short answer is yes.
The long answer is you have to check with the Sri Lankan government, and the company in Sri Lanka.
I would ask the company in Sri Lanka first. They may be willing to hire you if they have the space and you have the necessary visa. They may be willing to give you a “leave of absence” in the US or Canada.
If they don’t want to hire you, then I would ask the Finnish embassy in Sri Lanka.
If they are willing to hire you, then you will need to check with the Finnish consulate in Sri Lanka to see what the visa requirements are for a US or Canadian citizen working in Sri Lanka.
If you don’t have a US or Canadian passport, you may be able to get a visa as a tourist.
