Hi! Investments in stocks or ETFs do not qualify for a visa in Colombia, as the government requires a real investment in the country, such as purchasing property, starting your own business, or investing in an existing company. However, options like the Digital Nomad Visa or the Rentista Visa might be worth exploring, depending on the source and structure of your income. We’d be happy to review your case and help you find the best solution-feel free to contact us! wa.link/cxajxh

If you invest 100 minimum wages or more in a Colombian company (either your own or another), you can apply for a Migrant visa. It could be a one-time investment.

Hola! Sí, debes poner 'Colombia' en el formulario porque estás apostillando el documento para aplicar a la nacionalidad colombiana. Si en el futuro necesitas usar ese documento en España (por ejemplo, para residir o solicitar algo allá), tendrías que apostillarlo de nuevo indicando a España como el país de destino. Cada apostille debe corresponder al país donde se usará el documento.

@@_nexolegal ok, gracias, entonces yo tengo ques llenar dos formas. Uno par Espana y el otro para Colombia. gracias mucho. Pero otra pregunta, si yo quiero un apostillando par espana, puedo usar el mismo certificado de nacemiento? or tengo que aplicar otra por otro.?

No worries! Since your wife is Colombian, you can apply for an M Visa (Marriage Visa), can be granted for up to 3 years, which counts toward the time needed (3 years) to apply for a Resident Visa. If you’d like help with the process, feel free to contact us, we’d be happy to guide you!

The regulation remains the same, with no recent changes. However, please keep in mind the increase in the Colombian Minimum Wage, which is now $1,300,000 COP. For instance, if you need to calculate the requirement of 100 minimum wages for 2024, it should be multiplied by $1,300,000 COP.

Pensions of less than 1,000 UVT per month (equivalent to $47,065,000 COP, or approximately $12,037 USD for 2024 at today’s exchange rate) are exempt from Colombian taxes. If your pension exceeds this threshold, it becomes taxable, with the tax rate varying based on the pension amount.

Hello, for this process we’ll need a birth certificate, apostilled and translated, as well as copies of the parents’ ID cards.

There is no specific time frame to enter Colombia after receiving the V-type visa. However, make sure to plan accordingly based on the visa's expiration date.

That changed with the enactment of Law 2332 of 2023. This benefit no longer exists, so it’s necessary to accumulate 5 years with a migrant visa, or in the case of obtaining a marriage visa with a Colombian national, 3 years, or a visa as the parent of a Colombian national, 2 years.

Most certainly, we can help you obtain a tourist visa. Here you can find more information about the requirements: nexo.legal/home/colombian-visa/v-tourism-visa/ Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

No, sir. One of the requirements to apply for a digital nomad visa is to have a passport issued by one of the countries or territories exempt from a short-stay visa, according to the Resolution, and Pakistan is not exempt. You can find the list of countries here: nexo.legal/home/colombian-visa/

You can buy an apartment in Colombia as a foreigner without a visa. However, if you want to apply for a visa through the purchase of property to stay in Colombia for more than 180 days, the value of the property must exceed 350 minimum wages, which is $455,000,000 COP for 2024.

I'm from the USA. I just overstay my visa this time I stayed for two years when I leave I pay a 1000$ dollar fine and I ask the immagation can I return to Colombia since I paid the fine the last said yes so I leave and when I return it's like nothing happened they give me my 90 days I extend for another 90 days then I overstayed my visa again. It was the same routine I paid the fine and when I returned to Colombia they allowed me to enter. I didn't want to deal with there visa process and the rediculious documents they require. Paying the fine is well worth it for me. They actually hope everyone overstays there visa they love collecting that fine it's like free money for them.

Be careful buying an apartment there's so many scams in Colombia you can't trust anyone they will scam you with a smile.

Nos alegra que te haya sido útil la información. ¡Saludos!

Same question here.

Colombia does tax worldwide income for tax residents, and it doesn't differentiate based on how the income is generated. Colombia has agreements with certain countries to avoid double taxation, which can reduce your tax liability here.

If your friend already meets the criteria and has been declaring income tax in previous years, it is most likely that your friend must declare the amounts he/she is receiving from you. If your friend didn't meet the criteria before, then we must check if combining their income with the amount you are sending meets the criteria to declare taxes. You can find more information about the criteria in the following link: nexo.legal/taxes-for-foreigners-in-colombia-2024/

The Digital Nomad visa could allow you to stay continuously in Colombia for up to 2 years. Being a visa holder does not make you eligible to declare taxes. You must declare taxes if you become a tax resident and meet the criteria. You become a tax resident if you stay in the country (continuously or not) for more than 183 days (taking into account entry and exit dates) within a period of 365 consecutive days (not a calendar year). If the 183-day period covers two different calendar years, you would be considered a Colombian tax resident for the second year.

A foreigner can legally purchase real estate in Colombia with a passport.

To be eligible for a Digital Nomad visa, you must hold a passport issued by one of the countries or territories exempt from short-stay visas, according to the Resolution. You can find the list of the countries in the following link: nexo.legal/home/colombian-visa/

Thank you for your interest. We are discussing non-Colombian citizens who are considering or are in the process of applying for a Colombian visa.

@@_nexolegal If I'm in Colombia and apply for the nomad visa, does that mean I can't leave Colombia until I get a decision? What happens if my tourist stamp is set to expire after staying 179 days in the country? Should I wait for the visa decision or leave the country and reapply?

​@@BreasyTravels-vm9uk That's correct. If you are in the process of obtaining a Digital Nomad visa, you can't leave the country until you get a final decision on your visa application. If your tourist permit is running out, you can apply for a salvoconducto to regulate your immigration status. Feel free to reach out to us to discuss your particular case.

Thank you!

If you are from a country that requires a tourist visa to enter Colombia, it is important to note that the Colombian government requires proof of a steady income through bank statements, your monthly income must be greater than $13,000,000 COP (approximately $3,000 USD) for the last six months. Savings do not count as proof of financial stability.

In order to obtain a work visa, you must first have a job offer from a company that meets the requirements established by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Here are two key requirements to help you understand how easy or hard it may be according to your particular case (there are other requirements that may apply): - Motivation letter from the employer, stating the suitability, functions to be performed, the training that the foreigner has for that occupation, reasons for not hiring a Colombian citizen, and the number of direct jobs generated by the company. - Bank certifications in the name of the employer for the last four (4) months, showing an average monthly income of one hundred (100) Colombian minimum wages (approximately 32,000 USD). I hope you find this information helpful. If you have found a company that is willing to hire you and meets these requirements, let us know. It will be a pleasure to assist you with your visa process.

If you are a Colombian citizen living abroad, you must file taxes if you meet one of the following criteria: a. Your spouse or permanent partner who is not legally separated, or dependent minor children, have tax residence in the country; or, b. Fifty percent (50%) or more of your income is from national sources; or, c. Fifty percent (50%) or more of your assets are managed in the country; or, d. Fifty percent (50%) or more of your assets are considered to be held in the country. If you do not meet these conditions, there will be no consequences for returning to Colombia. However, if you become a tax resident and meet the conditions that make you eligible to declare taxes, then you are obligated to do so. Please feel free to reach out to us; we would be happy to help clarify any additional concerns you may have.

In this case, you must obtain a copy of your birth certificate, request a new cédula de ciudadanía, and then your passport.

That's correct. It is important to note that the requirement is based on the Colombian minimum wage and increases annually. When reapplying, the amount will be higher according to the increase. If you are looking for a residence visa, it is advisable to invest a higher amount from the beginning, taking into account the possible increase in the minimum wage in the following years.
