Answers to frequently asked questions
Colombia Residency by Investment
1. Purchase of real estate from $90,222 (M-10 Visa)
2. Business investment with a minimum amount of $25,777 (M-6 Visa)
3. Residency for digital nomads that requires a minimum monthly passive income of $773 and proof of employment (Visa V N贸madas Digitales)
Colombia residency by investment is structured under Resolution 5477 of 2022 and administered by the Cancilleria (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) through its digital visa portal at visas.cancilleria.gov.co. Four main investor tracks qualify: the M-6 Investor Visa (USD 40,000+ in a Colombian business, 100x SMMLV), the M-10 Real Estate Visa (USD 140,000+ in property, 350x SMMLV), the M-11 Pensionado o Rentista Visa for retirees with USD 1,170+ monthly foreign pension income (3x SMMLV), and the V-Nomadas Digitales Digital Nomad Visa for remote workers. All routes deliver a 3-year residency permit, renewable on continued qualification. Permanent residency (R Visa) follows after 5 years of legal M-Visa residency, and Colombian citizenship is available after 10 years of legal residency under Law 43 of 1993.
Colombia combines a territorial tax framework with broad exemption for foreign-source pension and investment income under Article 206 of the Tax Code, OECD-grade banking access, and one of Latin America's most accessible investment-visa thresholds. The Direccion de Impuestos y Aduanas Nacionales (DIAN) administers tax filings, and Migracion Colombia issues the cedula de extranjeria foreign resident identification card required for banking, EPS healthcare enrolment, and property transactions.
