How long does the Colombia DNV application take?
AI Answer
The Colombia Digital Nomad Visa (DNV) application typically takes 3-6 weeks to process. While the official line is up to two months, most applicants see approval faster.
For instance, I've seen approvals come in as quick as 20 days for well-prepared applications. However, if there are missing documents or high application volume, it can stretch closer to the 6-week mark.
The visa itself costs around $180, plus a $52 application study fee, so budget about $232 total. Don't forget to factor in the time it takes to gather all your documents, like your bank statements showing at least three times the Colombian minimum wage (currently 1,300,000 COP, so about 3,900,000 COP or ~$975 USD per month).
My advice? Have all your documents ready and submit a complete application from the start. This significantly speeds up the process.
