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.

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.

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.

Un extranjero puede aplicar a una visa colombiana estando en su país de origen, en su país de residencia o estando en Colombia. Si la persona es estadounidense no necesita una visa de turismo para visitar Colombia, si el aplicante es de una nacionalidad diferente, el tiempo dependerá del lugar en donde se presente la solicitud. Un proceso de visa estando en Colombia tarda entre 20 a 30 días (El tiempo puede incrementar si el ministerio te solicita información adicional).

Also about half of that interest income is actually coming in the form of distributions from my IRA accounts. Are IRA distributions treated like pension income for like earnings

As your pension does not exceed the specified amount, it will be exempted. Regarding the interest, it will count as income since it is interest income for your financial product.

So if I have a $ 500,000 house in Colombia and $400,000 in other assets I have to pay Colombian assets?
