I updated the VJ Bogota embassy info with all of the shortucts and tips I could think of. I thought that was the best place to keep the information because it gets lost here on the forum.

Please help me keep it updated and accurate.

Just click Embassy Info at the top of the page and then C for Colombia and scroll to Bogota.
