What exactly is the Digital Nomad Visa?
The Digital Nomad Visa is a V-Type Visa, designed for foreign nationals who wish to live in Colombia while working remotely for a foreign company, or for those who are entrepreneurs with a business based outside of Colombia. It allows you to legally reside in the country for up to two years.
Is insurance mandatory for this visa?
Yes. You must have a Travel All-risk Assistance Insurance. It must include accidents, illness, maternity, disability, hospitalization, death, and fundamentally, repatriation of remains. The policy must guarantee coverage in Colombia for the entire duration of your visa.
Does the visa allow me to access the public health system (EPS)?
No, the Digital Nomad Visa does not grant access to the public health system. You can access Colombia's excellent medical network by paying full private rates for services. Alternatively, you can contract a private local health insurance plan. Colombian Passport can assist you through our network of expert partners specialized in global assistance for foreigners.
Does this visa lead to permanent residency?
No, this is a key point. The Digital Nomad Visa (V-Type) is designed for temporary stays and does not accumulate time toward a Permanent Resident (R-Type) visa. It's perfect for experiencing life in Colombia for up to two years.
Can I work for a Colombian company with this visa?
No. The visa strictly requires that your work and income come from a company or clients located outside of Colombia. Earning income from a Colombian source is not permitted under this visa category.
What is the "Cédula de Extranjería" and is it mandatory?
Yes. Once your visa is approved, you must register it and obtain a Cédula de Extranjería (Foreigner's ID). This is your official identification in Colombia. The process requires booking an appointment with Migración Colombia, which can be challenging. We guide you through this entire process.
