Colombia offers one of the more flexible entry points into Latin American residency through its business investment category, which requires a qualifying investment of approximately USD 47,000 in a registered local company. For clients who want a larger stake or eventual property ownership, a real estate investment route is also available, starting at roughly USD 163,000.

The business investment route is popular with entrepreneurs who want to actively operate in the Colombian market, since the visa is tied to a functioning local entity rather than a passive holding. Investors can also bring dependents onto the same application, and residency can lead to permanent residency after a qualifying period of maintained investment and physical presence.

Colombia's growing tech and services sectors, relatively low cost of living in cities like Medellin and Bogota, and improving infrastructure have made it an increasingly popular base for relocating entrepreneurs and remote executives from North America, Europe, and the Middle East.

At The Azur, we help clients choose between the business and real estate investment routes based on their goals, structure the qualifying investment correctly, and manage the full residency application. If Colombia's $47,000 threshold interests you, get in touch to discuss which route fits your plans.
