Are foreigners allowed to own property in Colombia?
When we asked expats in Colombia if foreigners are allowed to own property, they answered...
"Yes, foreigners are allowed to own property in Colombia. The Colombian government has established a legal framework that allows foreign citizens to purchase and own real estate in the country. Foreigners can purchase property in their own name, or through a Colombian corporation. In order to purchase property, foreigners must obtain a visa and register with the Colombian government. Additionally, foreign citizens must open a bank account in Colombia and obtain a tax identification number," explained one expat living in Colombia.
