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

"If you plan to stay in Medellin for an extended period of time, you will need to obtain a visa or residency document. Depending on your nationality, you may need to apply for a tourist visa, a student visa, or a work visa. You may also be eligible to apply for permanent residency or citizenship. It is important to research the specific requirements for your situation and to contact the Colombian embassy or consulate in your home country for more information," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Medellin, Colombia.

"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.
