7 Easy Steps For Getting Your Colombian Digital Nomad Visa

Are you dreaming of sipping on Colombian coffee while working remotely from the buzzing streets of Medellin?

Well, guess what? The Digital Nomad Visa is your golden ticket to make that dream a reality!

Introduced in October 2022, this visa has revolutionized the game for all you digital nomads out there.

But hold your horses, because before you start packing your bags, there are a few steps you need to nail down.

Lucky for you, I've teamed up with Tomas, the immigration guru from Nexo Legal, to break down exactly how to snag your very own Digital Nomad Visa in just seven simple steps.

Let's dive in!

Step 1: Meet the Eligibility Criteria

So, who's in luck?

If you're from the US, Canada, UK, Australia, or any other country that gets that sweet 90-day tourist stamp upon arrival in Colombia, you're in the game.

Sorry Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, this one's not for you.

And as for age? As long as you're old enough to work, you're good to go.

Step 2: Start Your Application Early

Imagine the stress: your toes buried in the sand of a Colombian beach, your 4 pina coladas deep, and your visa application... well, still pending... while your tourist visa is on day 89 of 90.

Don't let that be you!

Start the process at least two months before your tourist visa runs out to avoid any last-minute panic attacks.

Step 3: Gather Your Documents

Alright, time to get your paperwork in order.

You'll need a letter from your company stating that you're allowed to work remotely, bank statements showing you're not living on ramen noodles, and proof of insurance to deflect the blame from the Colombian government should anything happen to you.

Step 4: Get Insured

Speaking of insurance, let's talk options.

If you're after top-notch coverage, Sura is your go-to. But if you're ballin' on a budget, Safety Wing's got you covered for a cool $45 a month. Choose wisely, my friend.

Step 5: Submit Your Application

With your documents in hand and your insurance squared away, it's go time. Submit your application and brace yourself for the nerve-wracking wait. The clock's ticking, but don't worry, Tomas says the average processing time is around 20 days.

Step 6: Cross Your Fingers

Okay, not literally. But seriously, keep those fingers crossed for a smooth approval process. Tomas has a 99% success rate, so you're in good hands.

Step 7: Celebrate Your Victory

Congratulations, parcero! You've officially scored your Digital Nomad Visa for Colombia. Time to cue the salsa music and start planning your Medellin life.

So there you have it.

Seven easy steps to make your digital nomad dreams come true in Colombia.
