Colombia Pension Visa

www.colombiavisas.com_images_100-success-testimonies.jpg

The Colombia Pension Visa or Retirement Visa was created for retired persons receiving income from their home country. This visa is issued for 1 year at a time and must be renewed with original documents each year. 3 times minimum salary is what you must receive on a monthly income to qualify for the retirement / pension visa. $566,700 pesos is 2012 minimum salary, so you must gain $1,700,100 pesos per month. The ministry or consulates do not update they rate they use on a daily or weekly basis. The duration of this visa is one year, and after 4 years can be converted to a QUALIFIED RESIDENT VISA (AKA PERMANENT VISA).

Its important to remember that the Colombian government only likes to accept official government pension certifications like those from Social Secuity in the United States. Letters from private pension plans or savings accounts will be difficult to get approved. Please note that consulates in different locations, and/or countries look at applications differently. Developed countries may be easier “in some cases” to get approvals in when compared to poorer countries.
