Living in Medellín: The 2026 Expat Guide
Medellín has become a popular destination for expats in 2026, known for its pleasant climate and affordable living. The city offers a range of housing options and a digital nomad visa that is accessible to many. However, rising rents and immigration crackdowns are challenges that new arrivals may face.
- ▪Most digital nomads live well on US$1,200 to US$1,800 a month, while a comfortable expat life can cost up to US$3,000.
- ▪A one-bedroom apartment in El Poblado ranges from US$500 to US$1,200, while in Envigado or Sabaneta it costs between US$300 and US$700.
- ▪Colombia's digital nomad visa requires proof of foreign income of about US$684 a month and is valid for up to two years.
