Colombia’s investment residency program is designed to attract foreign capital while offering investors and their families a range of benefits, from attractive business opportunities to a high quality of life. Here are some reasons why Colombia should be on your radar:
The Colombian government offers a residency-by-investment program that allows investors to obtain a visa and permanent residency based on various forms of investment. The two most common routes are:
Initially, residency through investment grants a Temporary Resident Visa. After two years of continuous residency, investors and their families can apply for Permanent Residency, which grants the right to live and work in Colombia indefinitely.
After five years of permanent residency, you may apply for Colombian citizenship, enabling you to enjoy the full rights of a Colombian citizen.

The Residency by Investment program allows foreign nationals to obtain a temporary or permanent visa to live and work in Colombia by making a qualifying investment. The program is designed to attract foreign investment into key sectors such as real estate, business, and finance. Successful applicants can obtain residency for themselves and their immediate family members.
There are three primary routes to qualify for residency by investment in Colombia:
The minimum investment required for each category is:
Yes, as the primary applicant, you can include your spouse and dependent children in your residency application. They will receive the same visa status as you, which allows them to live, work, and study in Colombia.
The process of obtaining a residency visa typically takes 2 to 3 months from the time of application, assuming all documents are correctly submitted and meet the legal requirements. This can vary depending on individual circumstances and the speed of the Colombian authorities.
Once your Temporary Resident Visa is approved, you can begin living, working, and enjoying all the benefits of residency in Colombia. After two years, you can apply for Permanent Residency. Once you hold permanent residency for five years, you are eligible to apply for Colombian citizenship.
Yes, investments in businesses that create jobs or contribute to Colombia's economic development qualify for residency. If you wish to establish or purchase a business in Colombia, this can be an excellent route to residency. The business must meet certain requirements, such as creating employment or promoting local development.
Yes, you can apply for residency by investment even if you do not plan to live in Colombia year-round. However, you must maintain your investment and comply with the visa requirements. If you spend a significant amount of time outside Colombia, it could affect your residency status, so it’s important to consult with a legal expert on maintaining compliance.
No, Spanish proficiency is not a requirement to apply for residency through investment. However, it’s highly recommended to learn the language to facilitate your daily life, business activities, and integration into the community. Change of Phase Consulting Group can help you find resources for learning Spanish if needed.
Yes, you are allowed to sell your property after obtaining residency. However, it’s important to note that you must maintain the required investment level for a certain period to keep your residency status. Selling the property too soon could impact your residency renewal process.
