Medellin Reports

[Gabacho]

As always whenever some of you are at home with no money to travel you just come here to troll and argue. I mean this must be a trolling post.

Because what you're telling me is that the Colombian officials are wrong. And the visa extension they gave me from Dec to March is also wrong and I should have had a reset? Lmfao. Lame ass troll bro.

Whatever, argue among urselves, pointless discussion.

No I'm saying you misunderstood what the Colombian officials told you.

The extrension (prorrogar) carries over into the next year, this is true. But it is also true that you get 180 days per calendar year that reset as of Jan 1st of each year. You can stay up until the date of the extension the. You have to leave but you can come right back the next day and will be issued a new 90 days because you are now in a new year and haven't hit the 180 or even 90 day mark yet.

Double six figure salary but not very intelligent LOL??

Hey bruh, I promise I won't make you upset man. I am trying to change, cause I know you always lecture dudes on here that are wasting money and ruining the game.

Anything above $10 Usd or 40 k is a waste. In fact I will quit having fun, no more taking girls out, no gifts, no clothing or jewelry even for myself, no cines, no more cigars, no playa or jetskis, no more football parties, no billiards, telling all homies to kick rocks since now in total isolation. I might as well eat less and join a diet. I'm going to disregard my stupid double six fig income and pretend I'm on a disability social security income and adjust all budgets accordingly. You got it sir.

LOL I'm not saying anything about all the other shit, I'm just saying for me, I wouldn't want to spend extra just because they sit inside a bar. The other shit has nothing to do with it. I go to the cine and mcdonald's and popsy too, no need to be an asshole.

Given the current safety issues and the fact that my Spanish is limited, I've come up with a general plan for my first trip to Medellin and wondering what you experienced guys think of it (whether it's an itinerary that I would be happy with). I would stay for only 4-5 nights since it would be an extension of a scuba diving trip in the Caribbean. To make the accommodations as hassle free as possible, I would opt to pay a bit of a premium to stay at the Hotel M (formerly known as the Mansion) where it is already set up for monger tourists. I could pull girls from the same location during the daytime and nighttime knowing that they are already pre-screened, ie. , low risk of drugging or robbing me plus a known price range. I understand that their staff can also arrange for airport transits and drives to other tourist sites at a reasonable cost if I should utilize them.

During the daytime, I might visit New Life and Loutron. Then at night I would just stay at the Hotel M bar except for one night I might visit La Isla just to say I've been there whether I pull from there or not. In all of these external venues, I would just use their rooms.

I might stroll through Parque Ileras again just to say I've been there but not really pull any girl from there since that becomes more risky business especially for a first timer visitor like me. I would think that with the combination of Hotel M and the above mentioned external venues, I would have more than plenty in terms of girl action for my short trip.

So what do you guys think? Would this be enough for a first trip sampler of Medellin? Or would I be really missing out on something else that I did not consider including?

I'd be interested too, I'm looking at a similar itinerary but instead just thought of having a nice Airbnb in Poblado that has security check in. Then Ubering to the clubs. Hotel M seems nice you get day time girls more safely but I don't know the quality or prices. Also if they allow outside / agency girls.

At least the Airbnb would be nicer and more in the middle of Isla Gustos Fase dos.

Medellin 8, Tijuana 3. Unless there is a dramatic change in forum opinions I'd soon be booking my umpteenth trip to Medellin. First to Medellin since covid struck and the second to Colombia since then.

Soooo, legally you can only stay in Colombia for up to 180 days from your date of arrival as a tourist, (not 6 months). Your first initial stamp is 90 days, then you can renew / extend for another 90 if approved. After which you must wait another 180 days before you return. New year has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with your dates.

If you are outside Colombia, the days in-country reset on January 1. If you are in Colombia, they do not reset until you leave after January 1. There is no 180 days wait time unless you enter January 6th or 7th and stay 180 days consecutively. I've been in Colombia more than 170 days, but less than 180, each of the last two years. I left near the end of December each year and returned in January and got a 90 days stamp. Near the end of the year, most of the immigration officers only give me the number of days I have under 180 for that year. So, yes, a new year has everything to do with your dates for a tourist visa unless you are already in Colombia at the beginning of a year.

You can clarify this when you visit Colombia next time.

This is already confirmed. No such thing as a reset w new year. I'm already back in Col. In Bogota since Friday.

There are some bars actually have room on site that you can drink with the girls and take her to the room. It's a a bar setting but also works like a casa. They are mostly scattered a little bit north and there was one in downtown.

Any names / addresses / directions?

[Nounce]

I thought they were on to something new or things had changed. The chicks in those bars are for drinking and dancing with you, not fucking.

I remember you reported that. There are some bars actually have room on site that you can drink with the girls and take her to the room. It's a a bar setting but also works like a casa. They are mostly scattered a little bit north and there was one in downtown.

He should brush up on his español first before he comes back so that he can understand what the immigration officer is telling him.

I've mostly been looking in the Lleras Park area for lodging but I'm open to other areas. In terms of what I'm looking for in lodging is the ability to pickup street girls and bring them back to my place (well versed in security and situational awareness of staying safe). What areas are best to stay in to pickup street girls and bring them back to my hotel / airbnb?

[Nounce]

Yo, I've been coming to Colombia for years and this is 100% wrong.....

Well, maybe it used to be that way at some point since I'm not that old, but this is not what's in the Col official sites, this is not what the immigration offer told me, this is not what the stamp reflects in my passport, nor the extended 3 months renewal I did in Dec that expires in March.

In about 5 months in Mde I've heard at least 25 different versions from lost and out of touch gringos (not you.) but this shit gets funny af. Once while I sat with a buddy in a cafe discussing this, an old Canadian lady in her 70's was nearby walking her dog and overheard us and came and joined the convo. She joked as to why so many are spreading wrong info, about the tourist visa and the digital nomad visa, when the fucking info is right on the darn official website? Like Mfrs can't read. We had a good laugh at that. She's been living in Mde for yrs.

New year has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with your dates. Rules are diff obviously for various visas. Currently I can get a biz visa, digital nomad visa (can be approved for 6 mo to 2 yrs), etc. I just don't want to, I prefer to travel for a while to other countries after I finish my 180 days.

In any case, I still appreciate the intel, but it is incorrect friend.

I think you are the one who cannot read LOL. Here I found you the information that pertains to this. It specifically states you cannot stay more than 180 days in a "Calender year" but once the year has changed to a new year you can leave Colombia for a day and then return and the clock resets. Nowhere does it say that you have to stay out of Colombia for 180 days again before you return, that would only hold true if you had stayed from Jan thru Jul then you wouldn't be able to come back again until the next January. But if you came in July you could stay a max of 180 days then leave and come back Jan 1st of the next calendar year and get a new 90 days (extendable to 180 days with a prorrogar).

I suspect the 70 year old lady didn't know what she was talking about you mentioned that she had lived here for years so obviously she is on a visa and not using the 180 days.

Also the immigration officers speak Spanish and you speak English. Whether they told you what they told you in broken English or you tried asking in broken Spanish obviously something got lost in translation and you didn't understand what he said or he didn't know how to explain to you in English what he was trying to tell you.

As you can see it is clearly written here in this screen shot in the second paragraph. Also we have real life accounts of how this worked as I mentioned in my previous post from. Osteoknot who came at the tail end of 2021, maxed out his 180 then went to Panama for a day and came back in January of 2022 and was given a new 90 days without having to wait 180 days to come back again.

It's ironic that you say people are spreading false information when you in fact are the person spreading false information.

When I used Avianca to fly into Medellin I think they have a different process than the American or foreign airlines. That was the only benefit of flying Avianca I did not have to worry about Check Mig.

I just did my MIG as COPA required. It's on the list of required documents or something like that. Went fairly smoothly after I used their drop-downs instead of typing in the answer. I only fly COPA and always need the MIG.
