Going to Bucaramanga

I love it there and plan on moving there when I graduate (soon). I want to be independent as possible, I have a boyfriend who lives there. But just in case something goes wrong I want to be able to stay with out relying on him. Please tell me the best schools to learn spanish, I am at moderate level. Also what would be a good job for someone with a college degree and medical background (mind you my spanish isn't fluent at all yet)

JohnNY...is that a governmental site or a private group site? it states that the business visa has multiple entries with each entry allowing the holder to stay 6 months with each entry? does that sound right to you? is there a minimum amount of time mandated between entries? the govt site doesnt specify.....

I don't know if the site is government or not. You can stay here up to 6 months without having to leave. You are required to leave for one day. The student visa works the same and it's easier to get.
