Hi Chrispej,

Hope you're doing fine.

I'll try to answer your questions from a non-professional point of view, I have only learned what I know in a empirical way. I must confess it's a very tricky question and difficult to answer.

The 1st question I would have is: why do you need a bank account in Colombia?
From my side, I take out my money from Citibank in Colombia, having a Citibank account in my home country. This reduces the transaction cost.
The Visa card is also widely used, that's another way to pay too.

2nd thing: I have doubts that a school will give you a certificate for attending classes 8 months in a row, but that you only attend 2 months, leave for 4 months and come back for 2 months. The only option I could be thinking about is that you register for a full-year study at University, but that you only attend part of the course.

I hope this helps you.

Good luck!

B.

If you need any kind of legal advice or any kind of procedure with the DAS here in Colombia let me know. I have a good lawyer who will help you with whatever you need. He used to work with the DAS and now he is helping foreigners to get the papers legally and quick. so let me know if you need his help. jorgeaev at yahoo.es
