Visas, banking, neighborhoods, cost of living, and everything else that nobody explains until you are already here. Based on direct experience, not secondhand travel advice.
We organized this the way we needed it when we moved: by problem, not by category.
Pension visas, digital nomad visas, marriage visas, investor visas, and the cedula de extranjeria process. Each one broken down with current fees, required documents, and realistic timelines.
6 visa guides →ATM networks, opening accounts as a foreigner, Wise transfers, Nequi, and getting credit cards.
4 guides →Cost of living by city, SIM cards, paying utility bills, internet providers, healthcare, and insurance.
6 guides →Honest takes on where to live in Medellin, Bogota, Cartagena, Pereira, Santa Marta, and Cali.
6 city guides →No dar papaya, common scams, and getting around by taxi, Uber, InDriver, and public transit.
3 guides →Every guide on this site comes from direct experience: the visa appointments at Cancilleria, the bank account runaround at Bancolombia, the moment you realize Nequi is more useful than your US debit card.
We are not a travel blog. We do not sell courses. We built this because the information we needed was scattered across Facebook groups, Reddit threads, and outdated forum posts from 2019.
