Working and living in Colombia with the InterNations Expat Guide
Are you preparing for living and working in Colombia? Or are you already an expat and have recently relocated to Bogotá, Barranquilla or some other international Colombian city?
The expat relocation to Colombia is definitely an exciting international opportunity and cross-cultural adventure: Visiting the landscape such as the Orinoco River Basin, getting to know how Colombian folks celebrate Battle of Boyacá's Day, or acquiring a taste for Colombia’s popular dishes like bandeja paisa…
However, InterNations does not only address expats in Colombia. We have brief overview guides for various locations around the world – from living in South Korea to living in Russia.
Reliable Information about living and working in Colombia
Relocating to and living in Colombia necessitates lots of reliable information on different facets of Colombian expat life. Many questions come up when living overseas in Colombia: ʺAre we, as expats, liable to Colombian income tax law?ʺ, ʺHow can I join an international pub crawl in Bogotá?ʺ, ʺHow to find a trustworthy maid in Bogotá?ʺ, or ʺWhat are the requirements to get a Colombian residence permit for my wife?ʺ
Looking for so much information on working and living in Colombia is rather bothersome and requires a lot of time.

Various topics are covered in our Colombia Expat Guide from education and children, to local organisations & companies or food and shopping, up to health-care.
