Colombia offers a migrant investor visa, known as the M visa, to qualifying investors. It is open to applicants of any nationality, including citizens of Brazil. This page explains the routes, the indicative threshold and where to confirm the current rules.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
Brazilian citizens are eligible to apply, since the M investor visa is assessed on a qualifying investment rather than on nationality. A Brazilian applicant meets the same published criteria as other foreign applicants.
The minimum is set as a multiple of the Colombian monthly minimum wage, so the amount in pesos moves when the wage is updated. You must register the investment with the central bank as foreign direct investment. Confirm the documents and the registration steps with the official authority before you commit funds.
The most common route is a real estate purchase registered as foreign direct investment, where the value on the deed must meet the threshold. A company investment route is also available where capital is placed in a Colombian company. Both rely on the investment being registered with the Banco de la Republica.
The threshold is expressed in minimum monthly salaries, so it is important to use the current figure. Check the exact amount and the registration process with the authority, since the wage and the rules can change.
The visa is often quoted as valid for up to three years and can count toward later residence steps, but processing time depends on documentation. Confirm the current expected timeline and validity with the official authority.
The investment threshold, expressed in minimum monthly salaries, and the visa fees are set by the authority and can change. The figures below are indicative only and should be verified before you act.
