WORK PERMITS IN COLOMBIA / COLOMBIA WORK VISA

Rob4 — Wed Nov 18, 2009 11:48 pm

Author: Rob4

Posted: Wed Nov 18, 2009 11:48 pm

I have been living in Colombia for a few months now on a tourist visa and have just been offered a job as a model. Do they even given work visas out for this kind of thing? I have a BA (philosophy, not modelling), but since there is really very little in the way of specific skills required for the job I worry that I might be rejected outright. Like I can see why it would be easy for an english teacher to get a visa, but a model? Does anyone have any experience with this sort situation? Also, once I do get a work visa is it only valid for that particular job or can I get another job as well without having to re-apply? Thanks so much.
