“We came here to Medellin because two years ago, we were traveling through South America and fell in love with this city that seems wonderful; we liked its people, climate, and environment and wanted to live the Colombian adventure.”
Nicolas Wayne, Co-Founder of Pokawa
When the guys told us about their idea, we connected with the purpose of helping them to realize that dream called: POKAWA COLOMBIA. A restaurant with a Hawaiian wave that bets on a fresh, fun, and completely healthy diet.
Where does the idea of POKAWA come from?
Grand opening of Pokawa Colombia
And the expected day arrived. The celebration of the arrival of Pokawa to Medellin. The guys say they want to stay forever and we believe them.
The concept of “sharing a food” is rated as one of the best experiences. Why not try to SHARE a POKE? Today, on a great day to do it, we are in Jardín Latino (Carrera 43D # 10-77 El Poblado) with Alex and Nico on this special day for POKAWA.
It is special for them and also for us. It makes us very happy to share success stories like this, which become a reference for foreigners who are thinking about where to start. So today, we tell you with total conviction: the answer is Colombia, and here we are to help you in the entire immigration, legal, and business process.
How did we help Pokawa?
From expatgroup, we were in charge of legally creating the POKAWA brand in Colombia. We accompanied the boys throughout the process of management, capital injection, business structuring, and obtaining their Colombian M-type visas (Partner / Owner) of entrepreneurs.
What was the most challenging part of opening a business in Colombia?
We know that one of the most difficult decisions is to bring foreign investment to Colombia without first having a guaranteed visa and a legal immigration status. However, we have the experience to carry out the process successfully.
For us, it is very important to be clear and explain each phase of the process very well to minimize the risks and anxiety of the foreigners and strengthen a bond of trust from the beginning to the end of the management.
It is a structured process that takes about 2 months to carry out the complete chain safely:
For example, the guys from POKAWA COLOMBIA, brought an investment of approximately 180 million COP to the country, and our team made sure to perform the step-by-step taking care of every detail in the timeline to have everything in order and based on current regulations of the Colombian government. This was the basis for these entrepreneurs today to have their M-type visas (Partner / Owner) and immigration ID in Colombia. They are almost «paisas» too!
