VISA

hello everyone I just got my visa this last wednesday to work in colombia for a year as a professor of english...I know there has been much discussion and confusion regarding this so I thought I would post a few things to help clarify a few things...

1. you no longer need a police report...apparently this came into effect this year.

2. you can receive the visa with a TEFL certificate...I had heard from a number of people that colombia was not accepting these certificates...I have one and received my visa....

anyways I received my visa in chicago and the staff there is very nice and helpful...hopefully this will help some people...

Doomedyouth says on Jun 15, 2005, 11:32: yeah I agree definitely call before hand and find out but the consulate who issued me my visa put my report right back into my hands after I handed it to him saying it was no longer required...this was 1 week ago.. 0 funny, 0 helpful.
