Colombia offers a Migrant category investor visa managed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Turkish nationals can apply on the standard basis. This page sets out the current position so you can plan.
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.
Turkish nationals are eligible. The Migrant investor visa is open to foreign investors generally, so Turkish citizens apply on the same terms as others. Approval rests on a qualifying investment that is properly registered, not on nationality.
Applicants need a valid passport, evidence of the investment and supporting documents. Confirm the live document list with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Two common routes exist. One is a direct foreign investment in a Colombian company. The other is the purchase of Colombian real estate titled in your own name. The investment is measured in multiples of the monthly minimum wage, known by its Spanish initials SMMLV, so the peso figure moves each year. A key step is registering the investment as foreign direct investment with the Banco de la Republica, since without that the authorities may not treat it as qualifying. Confirm the live thresholds and the registration process with the official authority.
The Migrant investor visa is generally issued for up to three years and time on it can count toward later residency. It can lapse if you spend long continuous periods outside Colombia. Confirm current processing times and absence rules with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The figures below are indicative and tied to the SMMLV, which is set each year. Confirm the current peso and US dollar equivalents with the official authority before you plan.
| Item | Indicative amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Real estate route | About 350 times the monthly minimum wage (SMMLV) | Property titled in your name and registered as foreign investment. Confirm the current peso value |
| Company investment route | About 100 times the monthly minimum wage (SMMLV) | Direct investment in a Colombian company. Confirm the current peso value |
| Visa and processing fees | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Study and issuance fees apply |
