Just two months after Ecuador's more restrictive visa rules were published in English, an English-language article about less restrictive visa rules for Colombia has been published online, at www.medellinliving.com ....
Colombia will now offer 'M' visas -- changing from one year to three years the period of validity of the previously-designated TP visas favored by Expats. The TP designation is being retired.
Until this year, Colombia TP visas based on pension income or certain investments had to be renewed annually .. and similar visas in Ecuador were good for life. First-time-issue Ecuador visas based on such factors are now to be renewed after only two years.
The Medellín Living article and a link to the government source material for Colombia are available by googling: medellinliving changes to visa rules.
