About Colombia
Colombia offers exceptional value for digital nomads and expats with a low cost of living, vibrant culture, and improving infrastructure, though security concerns require awareness of neighborhood selection and practical precautions. The country combines accessible healthcare, reliable internet in major cities, and diverse climates across regions, making it attractive for extended stays or relocation to cities like Medellín and Bogotá. Visa policies are expat-friendly with renewable residence visas available, though petty crime in certain areas necessitates neighborhood due diligence.
