Question
Can a european nurse work in colombia and what paperwork do you need for it .And will there be any work.
                                    thank you marion

Answer
Hi Marion,
You can obtain a Temporary Working Visa.
You would have to get a contract or letter from the company which is hiring you to be able to request the visa. Which means of course that you have to have a job prior to obtaining the Visa.
I really don't know what the probability is of you getting a nursing job, jobs are hard to come by in general in Colombia, and if you find one I am not sure you would like the pay. I don't know the industry that well to be able to give you sound advice.
If you have any other questions, let me know.
Thanks
Marta
