BOGOTA, BOGOTA, COLOMBIA, January 3, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- Colombia doesn’t just attract tourists, it turns some of them into digital nomads. A new analysis of Google search data reveals that the term “digital nomad visa Colombia” has reached an average of 2,460 monthly searches throughout 2024. 31% of these searches originate from the United States, while a surprising 22% come from Colombia, revealing
an interesting phenomenon: many digital nomads are already in Colombia as tourists and, having fallen in love with the country, decide to stay.“We see that a large number of interested parties are already in Colombia when they contact us,” says Camila Ocampo, an immigration attorney and owner of the firm Colombian Passport . “They come with the intention of exploring the country, but then they realize they want to stay longer.”
Judging by the numbers, most tourists looking to become Digital Nomads in Colombia are in Antioquia (40%), Bogotá (26%) and Valle del Cauca (8%).
As for the United States, almost half of the searches come from Florida (15%), California (11%), Texas (10%) and New York (9%).
“Colombia is quickly consolidating itself as a hub for digital nomads,” adds Ocampo. “They write to us from France, Australia, Russia, Qatar, Mexico, Chile; most are men between 25 and 40 years old and many of them are entrepreneurs.”
However, if Colombians consider it strategic for the country's economy to attract Digital Nomads, there is still much to be done. According to the 2024 MBO Partners study on Digital Nomads in the US, there are 18 million American Digital Nomads.
Crossing the information from both studies, we can calculate that only 9,000 American digital nomads will arrive in Colombia in 2025, that is, 0.05% of the digital nomad community in that country.
