Colombia, as in most countries, has a wide range of personal and business insurance options.<\/p>\n
You can purchase home insurance, tenant insurance, car insurance, health insurance, life insurance etc. There are a number of large insurers in Colombia and it is best to discuss the options with a bilingual agent.<\/p>\n
There are a couple of items to note. If you are going to buy a car, there is an obligatory national insurance called SOAT that you must pay every year. In your private car insurance, it is best to take a higher coverage for personal civil responsibility.

For health insurance, private prepaid health care is not available to you if you have not enrolled in a policy prior to your 60th birthday. See the article on Health Care in Colombia.<\/p>\n
