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 two 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.
