TestimonialS

- Karen A., USA

Sydney's help was incredibly valuable to us. She was there with us for every step of the visa process, giving us advice from the very first conversation. No matter how complicated the process got, her positive attitude kept me calm through it all. Without her help I don't think we would have had the good outcome we did. I've been recommending her to my all friends facing the visa process.

- Emma, UK

I'm super grateful to Sydney for her support during my residency visa renewal. Her up-to-date information, quick responses, and genuine assistance made the process stress-free. Sydney was professional, patient, and friendly. She turned what could have been a daunting process into an easy and positive one. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of visa assistance. Thank you, Sydney!

Who Are We?

Sydney
CEO and Founder of Colombia Connects

After living abroad for 12 years, 11 in Colombia, we understand how even ordinary aspects of life become challenging. The once mundane; shopping, errands, banking, official paperwork, suddenly isn’t so easy. For years I’ve heard ‘‘I love Colombia, but…why is it this so hard, why does it work this way, this makes no sense, how on earth do I do this, why isn’t this more automatic…etc’’

We don’t always have the why, but we do have the how to, so let us give you hand, or even take care of it for you!
