Colombia Ranked No 1 Choice for Retirees and Digital Nomads
April 23 the 2023The pandemia changed just about everything. If there was anything good that came of it, it was that we reassessed the value and quality of life.
We could suddenly live (and work) anywhere in the world as long as we had a decent internet connection. We were no longer trapped in congested, high cost of living areas like New York, Silicon Valley and the major business centers around the world.
But it all came at a great and tragic loss of human life and a huge increase in the cost of living...with inflation suddenly running at a 40 year high and interest rates doubling.
Retirees, millions of which rely on Social Security (SS) for 100 % of their income, found themselves unable to live a quality life. Millions live in poverty. The average rent (about $2,000 per month) in the US is more than they receive from SS. Plus the high cost of healthcare, food, utilities, transportation, etc.
Over 1 million American citizens already live outside the US and more and more are looking everyday.
International Living, the top guide for retirees, annually ranks the best countries to live around the world. Colombia is consistently ranked in the top 5.
Colombia offers retirees a very high quality of life at a super low cost and an excellent low cost government healthcare program. You really do not need Medicare anymore or its expensive Part B drug program.
The number of Digital Nomads (people who are location independent meaning they can live and work anywhere in the world) was already in the millions worldwide. Now there are 30 or 40 million Digital Nomads.
While many make over $100,000 USD a year, the majority make a few thousand a month and finding a high quality, safe place to live at a reasonable cost is the highest priority.
Cities like Bogota, Medellin and Cartagena are consistently ranked as the best place for Digital Nomads due to the high quality of life, low cost, excellent internet and fun.
Colombia has ¨the best, lowest cost with the easiest requirements¨ VISA and residency programs in the world.
Retirees on SS can easily qualify for the Retiree Visa and then get your Colombia ID (cedula) within days and then qualify for the government healthcare program. You can open bank accounts, buy property, etc....you are officially in business. We can help you with all this !
Colombia recently released its Digital Nomad visa too which is also the best and easiest digital nomad visa in the world. Again, we can help you with all this.
You can come to Colombia to check it out with just your US or other passport for 90 days and easily get another 90 day extention so you can be here up to 180 days without a VISA. This is based on calendar year.
