The Colombia Retirement Visa, officially the M-type Retirement Visa, is designed for foreign retirees who wish to live in Colombia.
To qualify, applicants must prove a stable monthly pension income of at least three times Colombia’s legal minimum wage.
This income must be verified with official pension documents and, if necessary, translated and legalized.
The visa allows holders to reside in Colombia for up to three years, with the option to renew or later apply for permanent residency.
Many retirees choose Colombia for its warm climate, diverse landscapes, and affordable living costs.
Applying involves providing financial proof, a valid passport, and additional documentation to the immigration office.
