Colombia: Un Practico Apolitical Pregunta Por Favor:

As a tourist you can stay in Colombia for 180 days in a calander year maximum with the entry day and exit day counting as one each. If you are visiting between 2 different calander years, you must leave Colombia after 180 days consecutive.

Colombia: Armenia English speaking lawyer:

"In a related situation, my attorney recently forwarded to me a COL accountant’s tax opinion .. that if I do not pay federal income tax in the U.S. that I do not have to pay income tax in Colombia" cccmedia, you must know a few good attorneys in that area. Share your knowledge and experience.

Colombia: Once again taxes.:

Two different issues. Tourist can not stay in Colombia for more than 180 consecutive days (must leave with the arriving and departing days counting as 1 day each) and the law also states that a tourist can not exceed 180 days in country in a "calander" year so Jan. 1 does start a new period. The tax law states that a resident/visitor who stays in country for 183 days in any 365 day period is liable to pay taxes.

Colombia: Med Airport at midnight?:

"The drivers find you.I was quoted 65.00usd. Would not accept 60.00. I accepted but cautioned at that price there would be no propina." Augieman, just want to confirn that you paid " $65 US " for a taxi ride from Rio Negro airport to Medellin.

Colombia: Alan Gongora:

@Awalles. The US Embassy in Bogota provides the verification letter in spanish. Go to their website (link below), Federal Benifits unit, look under social security admin and you will find directions to get the benefits verification letter. It will be couriered to you in 5 business days. This is what Colombia Migracion is now requesting for TP 7 with US Social Security as pension, no apostille necessary. https://bogota.usembassy.gov/mobile/service/federal-benefits.html

If you are interested in the development of the sex/monger activity in Colombia, read this forum. And this activity is not small. And there are more forums. http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showthread.php?583-Medellin-Reports

Colombia: EPS, are you sure you have the correct affiliation?:

Sorry to hear about your issues. Thanks for the post and clear explanations.

Colombia: hotels in La Candelaria:

The only hotel that I'm familiar with in that area is Hotel Nutibara which is OK. It's definitely in the heart of Medellin. Most of the others that I've walked by offer 1 hr, 4 hr. and over night rates. Just make sure they change linens before you pay. If you like intercity grit especially at night, then stay there.
