Most tourists from the U.S., Canada, and EU can enter Colombia visa-free for up to 90 days.
If you plan to stay longer than 180 days per year, work, or invest — you’ll need a visa.
Common groups: retirees, digital nomads, investors, students, entrepreneurs.

Apply at least 30–60 days before your current stay limit ends.
Avoid last-minute rush — delays are common.
Mistake to avoid: applying in Medellín (many rejections). Applications can be submitted in any Colombian consulate or city.

Visitor Visa (V): Short-term, business, studies, volunteering.
Migrant Visa (M): Work, marriage, pension, investment, entrepreneur.
Resident Visa (R): For long-term stay after 5 years on M, or large investment.
Each type has different costs, documents, and timelines.

Migrant visa holders can apply for residency after 5 continuous years.
Residents may apply for Colombian citizenship after holding R visa for 5 years (2 years if married to a Colombian).
Key benefit: dual nationality allowed — you won’t lose your original passport.
