There are several different visas he could get that would grant him access to Colombia for up to 3 years at a time without having to pay the entry fee. Such as the digital nomad visa, the student visa if he enrolls in Spanish classes at an accredited school in Colombia, the pensioners visa if he receives social security or any Canadian equivalent of which is $1000 usd per month or more, etc.
Granted they are not called a "visitor's visa" and maybe that's why you said that one doesn't exist but any of these 3 visas I mentioned can essentially function as a visitors visa because they allow multiple entries per year and they allow you to be outside of Colombia up to 6 months per year, so if he was a frequent traveler going back and forth each month for example, it may save him some money to get o digital nomad visa, for example instead of paying the entry fee every single month that he comes down.

Posts: 168Best way to get COP?
Is there a consensus on which bank or ATM is the best way to get COP out?
I get all fees reimbursed but the exchange rate on some ATMs suck bad, its better maybe even to take USD and exchange it?
ATMs in Poblado have horrible rates, are there decent ones in the airport? I've seen tons of variation.

Anyone in Lleras would know they are working, we will not be going there at night LOL.
Lesbian bar is not a bad idea, I don't know where to begin, but will look.

Posts: 4026Maybe a visa would exempt you from the fee. The thing about visas is they become invalid if you stay out of the country six months or more at a time.

Thieves use the vendors to hide behind and to hide the stolen item as they run past. Then if caught they have no stolen item on them. Then 20 minutes later they go find their vendor friend and get their stolen item. Even if the vendor is not their friend they will probably to do so as not to have problems with the groups of thief thugs.

Posts: 4026I don't mind the vendors themselves. It's their dueling loudspeakers that used to make the plaza a living hell in the late afternoon.

Posts: 133Has anyone from Canada found some sort of workaround the $85 entry fee?
To pay the fee 3 to 4 times in a year is a bit too much. Has anyone found a better solution like having a multi year visitor visa?

If you are still having no luck, Try meeting one of these webcam chicks outside of work since money is not an issue as you say. Use a VPN in Colombia to have full access, and have a go. Aside from the fraud (fake whatsapps, a monitor pretending to respond to WhatsApp messages whilst you think the model is responding) there are models who do meet up if they like you or want your money. There are no guarantees. Definitely, limit how much you tip as you do realize it's their job to suck you dry.

Of course in El Centro it was harder to enforce rules because there are so many homeless people and drug addicts. I think this was also the case in many of the barrios where the police don't go anyway.
We also had the Facemask thing longer than some other places and they were still doing it at the airport long after things had died down.

Posts: 4026I got caught doing that by a policeman when he remembered I had been shopping at a Justo & Bueno (remember them?) the day before. I used to alternate my cedula with foreign IDs with even numbers. He let me in but told me not to come back for a week.
