Best for: Medellín or Bogotá nomads — cheap, vibrant, and easy visa.
Colombia's V-DN visa has the lowest income test on Earth (~$700/mo) and a 2-year stay length, making Medellín one of the most-welcomed nomad-base cities in 2025. Costs in Medellín have climbed sharply since 2022 (especially El Poblado), but the broader country remains cheap. Bogotá is the underrated alternative — bigger, more business-density, less nomad-saturated.

Open the per-city visa cards on each city page for the specific income tests, durations, and program names. None of this is legal advice — confirm with the consulate before booking.
