Expatriate Holidays in Colombia

Hi Loïc, will be spending some time in the Pingzhen district of Taoyuan city
Taiwan .  About a 40 minutes train ride west of Taipei. We have been there before and really enjoyed the place, the food and the gentle happy  people. I especially look forward to the fresh cooked soup and a bag of dumpling in the morning for less than 2.00 usd. They are to die for.

Do you have some visibility on the borders opening of your host country?

Will you stay in Colombia or go abroad?...
If you go abroad, where will you go?

Various news organizations and travel sites reported in late May (2020) that Colombia was closing its borders and airports to international travelers through August 31st.  Exceptions apparently include returning Colombian citizens, diplomats, returning Expats who already have residency and others with special circumstances (kayak.com).

I can find no online reporting that the travel restrictions have been lifted effective before September 1st.  Sites I visited online include Kayak, Bloomberg and Colombia Reports.  The Kayak site was updated today, June 23, according to what is posted there.

Only cargo flights and humanitarian flights -- mainly to repatriate citizens and visa-appropriate Expats -- have been flying into Colombia since March, according to www.colombiareports.com ....

Argentina and Colombia are reported by some news websites as having the toughest travel restrictions in South America.

Apparently, it has been working for Colombia as its covid-cases rate per capita has been lower than in neighbors Ecuador and Peru. However, in an article updated today titled "Virus Gains Steam Across Latin America," the online New York Times reports that covid may be starting to surge in Colombia.
