What residency documents or visas did I need if I will be in Medellin for a while?

Answer this Question

We asked expats what residency documents or visas they need when settling in Medellin. They wrote...

"Obtaining a three year visa was simple, but consumed a lot of visits to various offices. Being married to a Colombian national makes it vastly simpler and having family living there ensures the process will be nearly flawless. Having an attorney to facilitate the process is recommended; mine only charged me $300.00 USD and accompanied me to each immigrations office visit," commented one expat who made the move to Medellin, Colombia.

"The only documents Colombia required were Apostilled Letters from Social Security and our passports. We received our 3-year Pensionado visas within 3 weeks, and our Cedulas a few weeks after that. The process was about a third the cost we paid in Panama, and that process took about 6 months and required two trips across country to Panama City," remarked another expat in Medellin, Colombia.
