Tell us about your business visa process regarding time requirements and difficulty
My business visa process, was actually much smoother than I thought it would be. I actually had experience working with two attorneys before this, before working with the expatgroup.co, and in reality, it didn’t go very well.
I spent some time actually looking and even paying just to interview with some of these attorneys to see. what come out of it and, working with expatgroup.co was actually great. I have no complaints at all from the very beginning. They were very, professional
Why did you decide to process your Business visa through expatgroup.co?
I decided to process my visa, through expatgroup.co because, I had been in a couple of groups on the internet and, a lot of people have spoken well about them as well as other attorneys.
Eventually, I got to expatgroup.co in which they actually. walk me through the process. They explained everything to me, put, their words into actions. And we actually went ahead and, did all the paperwork, everything necessary, ran around to get everything to eventually get my Visa
What are the advantages and disadvantages of processing your visa through an agency rather than doing it yourself?
The advantage of processing a visa with an agency it speaks for itself is the legal part of any government, even the Colombian government’s is extremely difficult. Expatgroup.co has experience already working with customers. Doing this. So I decided to go directly with an agency.
Just thinking about the loss is very difficult between the accounting part, between the actual legal part, between the requirements for visas. Everything’s extremely complicated.
What would you recommend to other foreigners who have doubts or fears about living, investing, and doing business in our country?
A lot of people here or say a lot of things, speculation about what you see in the movies, things like that. I decided to come to Colombia and see it for myself and just see what everything was about at the end of the day.
So just being able to come here and experience it myself, I would say that’s just what you. have to come to experience it for yourself, see for yourself what Colombia has to offer for you
