davidfmbca comments on Guide to Providencia OK sounds great! Now, can anyone tell me how far is the Maryland Decameron from the Tiuna Hotel? I heard its only a few minutes walk. I wanna go to San Andres but not sure which place to stay. I hear they're close together.

davidfmbca comments on San Andres Island?? NO doubt about it We're definately going to tie the knot in San Andreas next spring. But for now,we're planning to visit for Christmas to get information and locate the Notary for the island that looks after things,etc. I sent an email to lovelysanandreas to find out more info about all that, but the question I have today for all the rest of you posting here, is what hotel do you recommend for the one's available for us Canadian touristas because we only have a choice of the 5 Decameron ones disponible.

davidfmbca comments on Colombian tourist visas for canada Tourist Visa to Canada According to Cohen Campbell, if she travels with a family member, like her mother or father, and they have a CREDIT CARD, some cash to show on their visa application for travel expenses, and an itinerary, like hotel reservations, airfare, etc. the tourist visa application should be pretty easy to get. Also, a reason to return to Colombia is also needed so that the reason for bringing a family member along. Also, if she works or goes to University, that will help too. The main thing is to apply a couple of months before the travel, have a credit card, cash and some hotel reservations and the visa should get approved.

davidfmbca comments on marraige in colombia with only a passport? That's the simplest Definately San Andres is the way to go. Its simple, the island is beautiful and you can combine the occasion with a honeymoon at the same time.

davidfmbca comments on US OR COLOMBIAN LAWYER??? Either one will work since the paper work goes both ways. For anyone who has a complicated or involved Visa process ahead of them here is a good attorney in Bogota for ya.

davidfmbca comments on Marriage San Andres Sounds Great! I've heard its a snap getting married in San Andreas compared to Colombia mainland. So, can you give us the name of the notary and how to locate him/her? Also, what kind of questions did they ask you that you mentioned about concerns about false statements? Isn't it a question of provide proper ID and that's all?

davidfmbca comments on warning for Canadians.... Steve-O Steve-o, don't panic just yet. It sounds like you're only a few months behind the regular turn around time for these applications. I'm told that it usually takes 2 months in Mississauga, Canadian immigration office and 4-6 months in Bogota. It may help to get your Member of Parliment to make a phone call or two. There's probably an election coming in the next year so he (she) will be anxious to help you. Also, I would consider hiring an immigration lawyer, either in Canada or Bogota to help you along. The best is Cohen Campbell in Montreal 1-888-947-9445 and a good guy, english speaking fellow in Bogota can also help you, I heard. His name is Luis E. Riano Tel: 222-7525 cel: 3124338096. I've dealt with Cohen in Canada and he's great but I haven't used Riano but I heard he's supposed to be very honest and helpful guy. Good luck.

davidfmbca comments on Difficulty with cell phone calls Strange Problem No, I've been phoning my doll couple times a week on her cellphone from my computer using SKYPE out credits and its clear, cheap and no problems. Maybe its the city you're calling. My doll lives in Barranquilla and there never seems to be a problem with getting through unless I call her using one of those cheap 1 cent a minute calling cards. But if I call from my computer using Skype or one of the more expensive calling cards, it always works.

davidfmbca comments on items confisgated from mail No accident Its no accident. I sent my girlfriend a package from Canada for Christmas and it was full of a bunch of expensive stuff and the package arrived to her unopened and everything was in there (including some gold and diamond jewellry). But, she sent me a package from Colombia to Canada with just a couple of small inexpensive items and the package was ripped open and gone through by someone. Fortunately nothing was taken but its probably because there was nothing really valuable in there. I guess all the packages leaving Colombia must be opened automatically either by the customs people or snoopy workers looking for something valuable. Watch out for anything you send out of the country from Colombia.

davidfmbca comments on SINGLE CERTIFICATE Certificado I needed one too and I called my local province's (Canada)vital records office, where you get birth, marriage and death certificates, etc and they did a search for me and made me a "Certifcate of Non-Marital Status" with a seal and everything. So, if you live in the U.S.A., just call your local state registry office where you get these type of things and order one. They can rush it for you for a few extra bucks.

davidfmbca comments on Process time Suggestion I can't believe it would take that long either. There's something wrong with the system if they would keep a family apart that long. I would suggest that you hire a immigration lawyer, either in Canada or in Bogota, (or both!) and see if they can put some pressure on moving things up the ladder a bit. Its probably the squeeky wheel that gets the grease there so maybe someone who knows the ropes can speed things up for you. Its probably worth a few phone calls. I got a couple of names if you don't know of any lawyers that specialize in this stuff in both Canada and Bogota.

davidfmbca comments on The Perfect Colombian Family Whats the problem Yes, there are a lot of families that have their issues. Its sounds like your girlfriend is the only one who doesn't have a lot of hangups. She's probably thankful she has you and would make a good loving, and appreciative wife. Maybe if you got her away from all those perverts, she would start to enjoy life and the two of you can start to live your own life and enjoy each other. Suggestion. Marry her, get her out of there, and give her lots of love and attention and you'll probably be the luckiest guy in the world. A dedicated, stay at home, appreciative wife is a dream come true. Enjoy! Jealousy is normal so why not try to not make her jealous.

davidfmbca comments on Help with Certificate of Singlehood I know You think you got problems? My girlfriends parents wanted me to provide them with a "Certificate of Singlehood" before we could even see each other, never mind get married!

davidfmbca comments on Engagement Traditions Wrong way No, you got it backwards. The man must ask the Colombian woman's father for his permission to marry her. Its not a lot different than traditional American customs.

davidfmbca comments on Honeymoon Destinations Lots of places There are a lot of places you can go that a Colombian doesn't need a visa. If you want to stay in Colombia, go to San Andreas Island. It beautiful and it belongs to Colombia and they treat honeymooners great.

davidfmbca comments on Fiancee in Barranquilla Fiance in Barranquilla Don't worry too much about it. The simple solution is not to offer her money for awhile and see what she says. If she drops you, well......Just say you're a little short of cash for a few months, Christmas bill, etc. After a few months you can surprise her and lay some cash on her. If she's still with you, she'll really appreciate not having to ask for it and she'll know you really care.
