Guide for Foreigners Looking to Invest in Real Estate in Colombia

Colombia has become one of Latin America's most attractive countries for real estate investment, thanks to its stunning landscapes, cultural richness, and growing property value. Whether you're a foreigner or a Colombian living abroad, buying property in Colombia can be a smart and rewarding investment.

Here’s a practical guide to help you understand the process and invest with confidence:

1. Can foreigners buy property in Colombia?

Yes. Any foreign person or company can buy property in Colombia without needing a visa or residency. You only need a valid passport and to follow the legal procedures.

2. Types of real estate available

You can purchase all kinds of properties—apartments, homes, recreational farms, agricultural land, or commercial spaces. Areas like Nocaima, Medellín, the Coffee Axis, and Cartagena are popular for their appreciation and beauty.

3. Foreign currency and money legalization

Funds must be transferred through the Colombian financial system and registered with the Banco de la República as foreign investment. This ensures transparency and allows for future repatriation of capital.

4. Legal and notary requirements

The buying process involves signing a public deed at a local notary and registering it with the Office of Public Instruments. It's strongly advised to hire a local lawyer to verify ownership history and manage the paperwork.

5. Benefits of investing from abroad

  • High return potential, especially in rural or tourism areas.

  • Lower price per square meter than in most developed countries.

  • Opportunity to earn passive income through rentals or agriculture.

  • Access to nature and Colombia’s unique lifestyle.
