Make Your Transition to Colombia Effortless
Moving to a new country can be overwhelming, but what if you had VIP Lifestyle Consulting and a trusted local guide to answer all your questions—big and small? From visa applications and apartment rentals to top-tier service providers, we offer personalized concierge support to help you settle in smoothly.
Imagine having an insider who not only navigates Colombian life with ease but also acts as a semi-professional photographer, capturing your journey while you enjoy the experience.
Our mission is simple: to help foreign residents avoid costly mistakes and make their transition to Colombia stress-free.
The VIP Lifestyle Experience: Fast-Track Your Success
Why spend years figuring out the ins and outs of Colombia when you can gain expert insights in just four to five hours?
With deep local knowledge and an extensive network, we provide valuable tips, from finding the best health food stores to understanding crucial administrative processes like visa requirements and document apostilles. Whether you need to locate specialty groceries, navigate Colombian bureaucracy, or find a reliable private driver, we’ve got you covered.
Having worked as a cultural journalist in the Colombian Coffee Axis for over 12 years, we’ve built a trusted network of resources, ensuring you get accurate, up-to-date information to make informed decisions.
When you choose an experience with us, we meet at a central location and provide a comprehensive tour of the city you’re most interested in. Your guided experience includes history, art, culture, lifestyle, language, and so much more—tailored to what you need to settle in successfully. We’ll also share our best recommendations and contacts to ensure a smooth transition.
Costs include a stop for coffee/refreshments and transport. Tips are always welcome!
And if we don’t have an immediate answer, we’ll find it for you—delivering the information directly to your WhatsApp or email.
