Contact GeoGringo
I read every message myself. There is no team, no assistant and no chatbot behind this form — it comes to me, and I answer in 24 to 48 hours.
If you have a quick question, send it. If you are trying to make a decision — a city, a visa route, a clinic, an apartment — a message is the slow way to get there and a call is the fast one. I have put both below so you can pick.
The fastest way to get a real answer
The Colombia Ready Call is sixty minutes, one to one, on video, for $197. I read your intake before we talk so the hour goes to your situation rather than your background, and you get a written summary within 24 hours plus a 48-hour window to email me about anything we covered.
Reschedule up to 24 hours ahead. If you finish the call and it was not worth the money, tell me and I will refund it.
Or start with something free
- The Colombia Field Guide — free, covers what a month costs by city, the visa routes Americans use, and the year-one mistakes that cost the most.
- Free calculators and quizzes — no email asked for.
- The guides page — everything I have written down, free and paid, in one place.
- Start here if you are new to all of this and want the order to do things in.
- Recent country updates on the blog.
The ones people ask for most
- The Visa Playbook — every legal route, and who gets refused.
- My five favorite Colombian cities — the five I have lived in.
- Buying property in Colombia — the full guide.
Send me a message
One thing that helps: tell me where you are in the process. "Thinking about it next year" and "I fly in on the 14th" get very different answers.
What this page is, and what it is not. I am an American who has lived in Colombia for six years, in five cities, and everything on this site is first-hand experience plus the official sources it rests on. It is not legal, tax, medical or financial advice. I am not a lawyer, a doctor, an accountant or a licensed advisor, and I hold no license in any of those. Anything that turns into a filing, a diagnosis or a purchase belongs with a licensed Colombian professional — an attorney, a contador, your own doctors — and I will tell you that on a call too. Nobody pays me anything. No realtor, clinic, developer, insurer, relocation firm or visa agency: no commissions, no referral fees, no sponsored recommendations.
