Explain how easy is it for Colombian companies to employ expatriates locally? Give examples.

In my opinion is very easy, because to an expatriate to work here in Colombia just need to ask for a working visa and to notify the DAS of the situation*. Other than that, there is no different treatment from local workers. And I think it is a good thing because in that way, companies can get new knowledge from expatriates and learn from them and see what they can apply locally. Nevertheless, also might have negative consequences for local workers because they would have more competition.
