Visa Overview
Colombia is the 2026 hotspot for the 'Social Nomad.' The visa is cheap and valid for 2 years, though you can only stay 180 days per year. Medellin remains the nomad capital of the world.
Pet Entry & Rules
Colombia is very welcoming to dogs. You need an ICA import certificate. Medellin has world-class pet stores and vet clinics that are very affordable.
Tax Residency
You only become a tax resident if you spend more than 183 days in the country within a 365-day period. If you stay under that, you owe nothing.
