About USP Consultancy
A Colombian Legal Team, Built for Expats.
We’re a boutique firm in Medellín specialized in the legal needs of foreigners in Colombia — visas, family law, company formation, and US visa support. Clear pricing, real specialists by area, and no runaround.
Who We Are
A Boutique Firm, Not a Paperwork Agency.
USP Consultancy was built to fill a real gap in the Colombian market: a bilingual legal team that combines the technical rigor of an established firm with the transparency and accessibility expats actually need.
Most foreigners arrive in Colombia with the same three questions: Which visa fits me? How much will it really cost? Who do I trust to do it right? We answer all three — upfront, in writing, and in English.
We don’t run a high-volume visa mill. We handle each case with specialists by area — because a marriage visa touches family law, an investor visa touches company formation, and no single generalist does all of that well.
“The legal part of moving to Colombia shouldn’t be the hard part.”
That’s the idea that shaped USP. A clear process, real specialists, and pricing you can see before you commit — so you can focus on building your life here, not decoding paperwork.
What We Stand For
Four Principles That Shape Everything We Do
Expertise, Not Jargon
We explain the Colombian legal system in plain English. When a technical term matters, we define it. When a rule changed this year, we tell you the date and the source. No fog, no filler.
Close, Not Distant
Moving to another country is more than logistics. We answer the questions you're worried about — including the ones you'd rather not ask. You'll have a direct Colombian phone number and a real person replying, not a ticket system.
Direct, Not Vague
Our fees start at $295 USD. Government fees are listed separately and never hidden. Response within one business day. Requirements, timelines, and next steps in writing — so you always know where your case stands.
Honest, Not Salesy
We don't guarantee visa approval — nobody can. Cancillería decides, always. What we do guarantee is that your application will be complete, accurate, and submitted with the strongest possible documentation. If you don't qualify, we'll tell you upfront.
How We’re Organized
Specialists by Area — Not Generalists
Every case is routed to the right area of expertise from day one. No bouncing between people, no repeating your story to three different staff.
Colombian Visas
All 21 visa categories we offer — Visitor (V), Migrant (M), and Resident (R) — are handled by attorneys focused exclusively on immigration law. From Digital Nomad and Retirement to Investment and Spouse visas.
Business & Investment
SAS company formation, foreign investment structuring, and capital injection for expats starting a business in Colombia. Handled by professionals specialized in Colombian corporate law.
Family Law
Civil marriage for foreigners, marriage registration from abroad, divorce proceedings, and estate matters (succession & probate). Each family case is handled by a specialist with full courtroom experience.
US Visa Support
B-1/B-2 tourist and business visas, K-1 fiancé(e), and CR1/IR1 spousal visas. A line of service that most Colombian firms don't offer — useful whether you're coming in or heading out.
Supporting Services
Cédula de Extranjería, apostilles, official translations, FBI background checks, tourist stamp extensions, and document legalization — the paperwork ecosystem that surrounds every visa and business case.
Bilingual Client Care
Every client is served in their language — English for international clients, Spanish for local and Latin American clients. No forced translations, no language barriers, no confusion about what comes next.
