What American expats need to know about Colombia
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.
Cost of Living
Excluding rent, a single person needs ~$500 USD/mo; a family of four ~$1,800 USD/mo. Rent (1-bed, city center): Bogotá ~$700, Cartagena ~$750, MedellĂn ~$600, Cali ~$450. Groceries run COP 25,000-40,000/day per person. Overall 60-70% below US major cities — MedellĂn runs $1,000-1,800/mo all-in for a comfortable life.
Key Fact
Colombia's digital nomad visa approvals have become unpredictable in 2025-2026 — the government now favors applicants in IT or with visible foreign employers. Safety has improved dramatically in major cities but varies by neighborhood.
