Practical checklist

Before you move to Medellín.

  • Internet and backup

    Test the connection where you will actually work in Medellín, and have a backup: a local SIM with data, a second network or a coworking space nearby.

  • Coworking and community

    Find a coworking space or community before you arrive. Other builders keep you sharp and make a new place feel like home faster.

  • Safety per neighbourhood

    Safety differs per neighbourhood in every city. Research the specific area you will live and work in, not just the city.

  • Flights

    Check direct and one-stop connections to where your clients, friends and family are, so a visit or an urgent trip stays easy.

  • Rules for staying

    Check the official visa and residence rules for your nationality before you book. They differ per passport and change over time.
