The most important piece is missing: Is the digital-nomad visa holder a subject to Colombian income taxes? I read wildly different opinions on this. Most sites say the visa holder can't stay in Colombia more than 183 days/year, otherwise triggers residency tax. What would be the point of the visa then?
The Digital Nomad visa could allow you to stay continuously in Colombia for up to 2 years. Being a visa holder does not make you eligible to declare taxes. You must declare taxes if you become a tax resident and meet the criteria. You become a tax resident if you stay in the country (continuously or not) for more than 183 days (taking into account entry and exit dates) within a period of 365 consecutive days (not a calendar year). If the 183-day period covers two different calendar years, you would be considered a Colombian tax resident for the second year.

It is always a pleasure to help! To be eligible for a Digital Nomad visa, you must hold a passport issued by one of the countries or territories exempt from short-stay visas, according to the Resolution. You can find the list of the countries in the following link: nexo.legal/home/colombian-visa/
