What is the Annuity Visa?

The Colombian Annuity Visa (Rentista) is designed for foreign nationals who receive a fixed, recurring monthly income from sources outside Colombia, such as rental income, interest payments, or annuities, without the need to be employed locally. Unlike retirement visas, this category does not require you to be a pensioner, making it ideal for younger investors.

Our team assists you in certifying the stability and origin of your income to meet specific government requirements. This visa grants residency for up to three years and allows you to include beneficiaries (spouse and children), offering a stable pathway to enjoy life in Colombia while managing your international assets. It does not authorize employment with Colombian companies.

Requirements: Annuity Visa (M-Rentista)

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I work for Colombian companies with this visa?
No. The Digital Nomad Visa is strictly for providing services to companies or clients domiciled outside of Colombia. If you wish to work for a Colombian entity, you would need a Work Visa (M or V type depending on the contract).
Do I need to be in Colombia to apply?
Not necessarily. You can apply from a Colombian consulate abroad or from within Colombia if you have a valid entry permit (tourist stamp). Our team handles the online submission regardless of your location.
Can I bring my family?
Yes. Beneficiaries (spouse/children) can be included in your application. They will receive a beneficiary visa linked to your main visa. Additional financial proof may be required.
Will I have to pay taxes in Colombia?
This is complex and depends on your stay duration. Generally, if you stay over 183 days in a 365-day period, you become a tax resident. However, Colombia has double taxation treaties with many countries. This is why our accounting team's advice is crucial.
