    So does this apply for youtubers? 2nd question do i need do the visa at colombian consulate in my country or can i do it online?

    • @AKJoel

      You're getting paid by a company based outside of Colombia so as long as you can prove the income threshold, I don't see why not! Regarding how to apply, I haven't seen any details on the process yet.

    Great Video! I have a Quick Question. Do we get TRC (Temporary Residence perm) after coming to Colombia?
    I like to travel a lot. If we got TRC, Can we apply for other country Visas from Colombia.

    • @AKJoel
      @AKJoel  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If your digital nomad visa gets approved yes you get a temporary residence permit of 1-2 years. No idea if you can also apply for other countries though, sorry!

    Will I need to travel back to the States from Colombia to acquire any documents (like criminal background check?) Should I hire an immigration lawyer or do it myself?

    • @AKJoel
      @AKJoel  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Depends on your country, I know in Australia you can do criminal background checks online. If you cam afford it get a lawyer to do it, definitely worth the peace of mind!

    Under this visa do we become taxable after colombia’s 183 day rule (I think it’s 183)? And if so how does that work? Will we be taxed from our home country and then again in Colombia?

    • @AKJoel
      @AKJoel  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes if you stay in Colombia for more than 183 days you are considered a "tax resident." There's too much to explain on this topic so I suggest you speak to a Colombian accountant or lawyer who can explain more regarding your exact situation.

      Yes you'll need to hire a translator and get them notarized probably. Best to speak to an immigration lawyer about the requirements!

    Can a retired person here in Colombia supplement their income on a retirement visa do digital nomad things?

    • @AKJoel

      This would be a better question for a lawyer on the actual legality of it, however unofficially I know many "retired" people here who still work.

    @kevinhobbs3543 ปีที่แล้ว

    if you stay more than 6 months,, you have to pay colombian taxes on your worldwide income correct? isnt it better to just stay under 6 months and go to another country and pay no colombian income tax?

    This Digital Nomad Visa is absolute garbage. It adds ZERO benefit. It is very misleading saying it is good for 2 years. This video should be modified to state this.
    You still have to leave the country every 90 days or apply for permission to stay another 90 days. You still can only stay in the country for 180 days out of the year. This Visa is only for people who want to have a clear conscious while working virtually in Colombia (technically you aren't allowed to work virtually while staying in Colombia) like thousands of people are already doing. This is no different than the current Tourist entry/exit rules that are already in place.
