We are in the process of purchasing a small tourism business and have a few legal question some of you might be able to answer:

-it seems the visa we need is the TP7, what is the difference between the NE1?
-what should come first, the purchase of the business or the visa application ?
-any recommendations for a VISA agency?
-any recommendations for a lawyer or Notaire in Santa Marta ?

Thank you so much,
Regards

Hello,

1) a TP7 visa is a generic category that includes various subcategories (such as pensioner visa, visa for people with rental income, shareholder of a Colombian company, independent visa..)

NE1 is a business visa. This type of visa enables you to stay in Colombia (no long-term stay) for doing research on business opportinities, networking etc. (but not to generate income in Colombia)

2) It depends on your strategy. If you want to apply for a TP7 visa for shareholder of a Colombian company, you will have to purchase the business first.

If you prefer some preliminary reasearch on business opportunities, you may want to apply for a NE1 visa first..

3) Please write me if you need assistance on visa issues.

Regards,

Chris
