Worked example

A single remote worker earning $2,500 a month, paid in US dollars, applying for Colombia's Digital Nomad Visa (V visa).

  1. 1Colombia sets the threshold at 3 × SMMLV (COP 1,750,905): COP 5,252,715 a month, using Decreto 1469 de 2025, maintained by Decreto 0159 de 2026
  2. 2At COP 3,264 per US dollar (ECB, 2026-09-24), $2,500 a month is COP 8,160,975
  3. 3That is 55% above the line, which is $1,609.10 a month in dollars

They clear Colombia's financial requirement with room to spare.
