What if they were to decide to just raise the fee to say $50 mil COP out of the blue one day, like how would we even know until after we complete a withdrawal and then look at our accounts to see how much we were charged.
Also the withdrawal limit is $2 Million COP making the 15 mil fee like 0. 75% of the total withdrawal amount which is still the lowest fee of all the banks (except for maybe pinchicha but I don't know where that bank is) in Colombia.

Now if you were just flying domestically within Mexico like Tijuana to CDMX or Tijuana to Cancun, etc. I've never ever been asked for the FMM or even my passport I've been able to fly all over Mexico with just a California ID card. But when you go to board the flight that leaves Mexico and lands in BOG or MDE in my experience they will deny you boarding unless you have a valid FMM. This may have changed though as I know in Cancun they no longer issue them they just write 180 on the stamp in the passport which acts as the FMM but I'm not sure if that's now at every airport or just at cancun.
Also one time I was denied boarding on a wingo flight from cancun to Bogota because my FMM had a car stamp instead of an airplane stamp (means it was issued at a land port of entry not an international airport). The wingo lady told me she couldn't accept it because of the car stamp and that I had to go to the INM office and get another stamp on the back side then she could accept it.
So literally like 20 mins before boarding I had to run through the cancun T2 airport all the way back thru the security checkpoint to the INM office there behind that guacamole restaurant where the bathrooms and ATMs are and they gave me the stamp on the back of the FMM card which is an exit stamp then I had to go back through security and back to the gate and I literally ran there all out of breath but I made it and the lady then accepted my FMM and boarding had already started so I just walked onto the plane at the at point.
I would advise you to pay the $35 and buy the FMM at the Tijuana airport or at the border crossing and hold onto it along with the separate receipt showing you paid for it. And when you get to the final airport where you will be boarding your flight to Colombia go up to the counter where you check your luggage and ask them if you need the exit stamp on the back or not (and go get that if you need it) then proceed through security and to your gate.
And if you didn't need the FMM at all I guess you're out $35 bucks but that's alot better than missing your flight if you did need it.
Actually you know what, now that I think about it, this last time I came through in August of last year, I had a brand new passport as I had just renewed in July and my FMM stamp was in the old passport from the last time I came back and I was just waived into Mexico like how you mentioned. And when I boarded in cancun on a flight to Medellin I was not asked for the FMM and neither did they ask about my Mexico entry stamp which I didn't have in the new passport (it was literally blank) but I did have the old passport with the 2 holes punched in it with a valid FMM stamp from cancun still within the 180 days in case if I needed to show it but they never asked me for it. They just let me board the flight with the blank passport. So you may not need it. I'd still rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it though, so your move.

Posts: 34So those sneaky bastards at Davivienda are indeed charging an undisclosed $15 k mil fee but the good news is Schwab told me they can see the fee and it will be refunded like any other fee.
Can withdraw $1 millóand vs only about $600 k from Bancolombia. The fee for the latter is a ridiculous $27 mil almost. I don't even understand how Schwab affords to reimburse all the fees but I guess they figure they make more in managing your investments.

Posts: 1283Flying from Mexico
Gentlemen, I'm planning on flying into Colombia from Mexico. My passport is from the US. Other than Check Mig, are there any other requirements that we don't need when flying in from the US?
Thanks in advance.

Ubate is the first town where you feel like you have left Bogota and they have arepas to die for there.
It is the cities further down the road: Susa, Simijaca, Chiquinquira, and Villa De Leyva that I was like holy fuck. The town squares are literally filled with beauty after beauty. Granted, the women often look similar: their skin is naturally tanned like so many Caucasian women strive to be, high cheek bones, thinner posteriors than the Paisas, and trim waists. Outside of a few in Villa De Leyva, you will not see tourists.
When in Barranquilla, I stayed at a hotel and in the lobby saw women glammed up and dressed to the nines meeting their dates for dinner. Maybe it was just dumb luck, I saw at least half a dozen stunners.
In the other cities I mentioned, the women were less sophisticated and more pure. They would be wearing cut off t-shirts showing rock hard abs and tight jeans with that special wiggle. The churches seemed to dominate the social scenes so I would guess volunteering or showing up at their functions, services, and festivals would be the way to meet the ladies there. Hope that helps.

It was the same thing with that old Rio interview that was done years ago. These are hookers that go to the club to find men for money every night. These are not people that have been to school and are working a 9 to 5 job everyday.

Posts: 38Getting a girlfriend
Hi,
I'm I've been living in Medellin for the past 4 months and my spanish is decent. I came here looking for a girlfriend. Yet the only girls that I match with on dating sites are working girls and I joined salsa clubs, roller skating clubs and went to language exchanges yet it seems like in Medellin many (not all) local normal non working girls look down on dating foreigner guys, but when I first went to Medellin in 2017, so many local girls wanted to know who I was, where I was coming from and had so many questions about why I am in Colombia.
Where in Colombia can I go where I can meet a normal girl and have a relationship with her. My friend says Santa Marta or Cali would be where I can get the attention I got in medellin in 2017. What do you guys think?
