Digital Nomad Visa – Visitor Visa Category V (Colombia)

Live in Colombia While Working Remotely

Overview

Colombia has introduced a specific visa category for digital nomads—commonly referred to as the Digital Nomad Visa—to accommodate remote workers and freelancers who wish to stay long-term while continuing to work for foreign clients or employers.

This visa is ideal for U.S. citizens and other foreign nationals who want to live and work legally in Colombia. It allows remote professionals, entrepreneurs, and freelancers to operate from Colombia while managing their businesses or client work abroad. With this initiative, Colombia aims to attract global talent and strengthen its digital and entrepreneurial ecosystem.

To qualify, applicants must show proof of ongoing remote work or client contracts, meet minimum income requirements, and have valid health insurance coverage in Colombia. Beyond offering legal residency, the visa allows foreign nationals to experience Colombia’s rich culture, low cost of living, and opportunities in industries like tech, digital marketing, and business consulting.

Purpose: Designed for remote workers, freelancers, or digital entrepreneurs who primarily serve clients or employers outside Colombia

Validity: Up to 2 years

Income Requirement: Minimum monthly income of approx. COP 3,000,000 (~USD $650) (subject to policy and exchange rate changes)

Bank statements verifying sufficient income
Valid health insurance covering your stay in Colombia

Passport valid for the duration of your intended stay
