Land in Medellín with the boring parts already handled

The move itself is easy. The visa, the bank account, the health cover and the lease are what take people six frustrating months. Each one goes to a partner who does it every week.

Sequence

The order things actually have to happen in

Most of the pain in a Colombian move is a dependency problem: the bank wants the cédula, the cédula wants the visa, the visa wants the health cover. Done in the right order it is unremarkable.

01
Before you fly

Visa route chosen, documents apostilled, somewhere to land for the first month.

02
First fortnight

Cédula appointment, Colombian bank account, phone line, and the health cover that a visa needs.

03
First quarter

A long lease, Spanish lessons if you want them, an accountant if you are earning here.

04
Settled

Schools, a car, or the purchase conversation, whenever you are ready for it.

Who does what

We do not do any of this ourselves, on purpose

A visa should be run by a Colombian immigration lawyer, not a property company. We hold the network, make the introduction, and stay on the thread until it is finished.

Legal and visas

Visa applications, residency, incorporation and contracts.

Accounting and tax

Colombian tax setup, monthly bookkeeping, US and Colombian filing.

Insurance

Health, property and liability cover written for foreign residents.

Banking and finance

Opening a Colombian account, transfers, and loan products.

Language schools

Spanish tuition, private and group, in El Poblado and Laureles.

Travel and tours

Coffee region, Guatapé, Cartagena, and airport handling.

Dental and medical

Including International Smiles, an alliance already listed on the live site.
