The U.S. Embassy in Sri Lanka has observed a recent increase in social media accounts impersonating officials of the U.S. Embassy. We encourage social media users and followers of U.S. Embassy Sri Lanka’s official accounts to verify the authenticity of any account claiming to represent the Embassy or its officials, avoiding engagement with or reliance on information from impersonator profiles.
For our Embassy’s most accurate and up-to-date information, skip the fakes and go straight to the source. Visit our official website at https://lk.usembassy.gov/ and follow only our verified Embassy social media accounts:
- Ambassador Chung on X: @USAmbSL
- U.S. Embassy Sri Lanka on X: @USEmbSL
- U.S. Embassy Sri Lanka on Instagram: @USEmbSL
- U.S. Embassy Sri Lanka on Facebook: http://facebook.com/Colombo.USEmbassy
We encourage the public to follow Ambassador Julie Chung’s official profile on X (@USAmbSL) for accurate updates about the United States in Sri Lanka. Please note that she does not have profiles on Facebook, Instagram, nor Telegram—so if you see her there, it’s not the real deal!
Please note that U.S. Embassy Consular officials will not contact individuals via social media platforms or direct messaging regarding U.S. visa services.
