Location
Open in Google MapsLiving in Barranquilla
Colombia's fourth-largest city on the Caribbean coast, known for its massive Carnival and salsa culture. Cost of living is roughly 70% less than the US with apartments in expat-friendly neighborhoods like Alto Prado around $400/month. Hot and humid year-round, less polished than Cartagena but more authentic — Spanish is essential as English is rarely spoken.
Eternal spring weather in Medellín, salsa music drifting from every doorway, and a warmth from Colombians that makes you wonder why you ever thought strangers were something to avoid.
Visa
Digital Nomad Visa (Type V) — requires proof of ~$900-1,000/mo income for 3 months, health insurance, and clean criminal record. Valid up to 2 years. Retirement Visa (Type M) — requires $750+/mo pension or 3x minimum wage. 2026 update: approvals for both have tightened; IT/tech workers are favored for digital nomad.

Foreign Buyer Note
No restrictions on foreign buyers. Property ownership can support visa applications. Title insurance is not common — hire a good lawyer for due diligence.

Next steps for moving to Colombia
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
