About the country

Colombia was one of the first countries in the region with an official digital nomad visa: the Visa V “Nómada Digital” has run since 2022. Climate and landscape shift from the Caribbean and Pacific coasts to the Andes, living costs are low, and Medellín, Bogotá and Cartagena keep growing as remote-work cities.

Common questions

How can I move to Colombia?
The catalogue covers these routes: residence permit. The reference section describes 5 relocation programmes in total, with official conditions and links to government sources. Which route fits depends on whether you have a job, a business, property or relatives in the country - we'll go through it on a free consultation and pick the one that works.
What services can I arrange in Colombia?
1 option across 5 areas: residence permit, crypto exchange, flights, short-term stays, VPN abroad, health insurance, buying, selling and 2 more. Every option comes with a price, a timeline and the scope of work; the provider is a licensed local expert.
Can services in Colombia be arranged remotely, without flying in?
No: this service requires you to be there in person - usually for biometrics, a signature at the bank or filing at a consulate. What exactly has to be done in person is covered on a free consultation before any work starts.
What does a consultation cost, and is there a markup on top?
The consultation is free and commits you to nothing. You sign the contract directly with the expert and pay their official price list - Pactors adds no markup and takes no commission from you.
