"I worked with Capital M for my DN visa in Colombia. It was a difficult process, not because of Capital M, but with changes in the government and specific documentation needed for my individual case. I was incredibly impressed with the timeliness of Capital M in getting things done, staying on top of the process, and ultimately, after many different submissions, we finally made it happen and I was approved based on their persistance and guidance. I am so grateful for their patience in helping me get my visa. They also never charged me for all the additional work they did that was seemingly out of scope. They are great people."

"Simply amazing! Incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and effective. Daniel (excellent English) and his talented, hardworking team picked up the ball last minute from two prior legal services (one popular one which gave bad/incorrect advice, the other who didn't respond w/the urgency my case needed), and delivered the right visa solution for me. I am ecstatic. He was on top of everything, including facilitating a salvaconducto and subsequent processing. I am amazed at their efficiency and accuracy, as well as their affordability. Choose them for your Colombian visa needs!"

"I’m a retired engineer from the US who for several reasons, choose Colombia as my retirement destination. The Retirement Visa requirements are straightforward, but there’s a great deal of detail and timelines to be met. Daniel Luque and Capital M Law tracked everything keeping me informed with timely email and a continuously upreviewDated spreadsheet in the most professional and respectful manner. They directed me to their many resources and contacts on how and where to gather the documents I needed, including translation and apostille services. AND communication was in English, since I haven’t learned Spanish yet. Capital M Law was a pleasure to work with. I started the process in the US about three months before arriving in Colombia and completed in about three months after that. My application was rejected the first time so we met and Capital M Law proposed a solution. We reapplied and it was approved the second time. The fee Capital M Law charged was very reasonable. I couldn’t imagine doing this without a top-notch law team like Capital M Law. David"

"I have been using Daniel as my immigration attorney in Colombia for around 15 months. Before him I worked with two other lawyers. They were ok but Daniel is great. The difference between good and great is huge. I highly recommend him. I found him through a recommendation posted in a medellin expat group. I was having issues with my visa application at the time. I hope someone who was in my same position reads this post and like me will call Daniel. Trust me you will be on your first step towards making your visa troubles go away. 😊"

"Great service. Did my Nomad visa with them, everything was covered perfectly and the service fee was decent. Daniel explained me all the details and pointed to some of my documents that I provided incorrectly and needed to fix. Got my visa for 1 year in 2 weeks smoothly without any hassle."

"Daniel and his team have two times now provided me with fantastic service to obtain my cedula extranjero. The fee was modest but some of the best money ever spent here in Colombia. They are organized and have a streamlined process that makes everything go smoothly--including a good recommendation for the health insurance requirement. Equally important is that the communication is excellent. They are quick to respond with concerning any issue or question about getting the needed documents. I highly recommend you hire Capital M. for any Visa or citizenship issue you have."

While my case was complicated and others were skeptical about the outcome, Daniel made sure all supporting documents had been collected and verified before presenting my immigration case and within 10 days I got notice of the approval ."

"Daniel helped me with my DN visa, and he was so organized and on top of everything I needed to do. He gave me a checklist, they texted my materials before I submitted, and when anything confusing came up he was always available. There were some extra steps for someone who is self-employed that I hadn't anticipated - I really appreciate his promptness in responding, and his communication by email and WhatsApp so I can refer back to materials as I need to. He even scheduled my immigration appointment to get my ID card when new appointments were finally added after the new year (and going like hotcakes!). I highly recommend Daniel if you need someone to help you with your visa process."

"Highly recommend Daniel! He helped our family with a digital nomad visa which had a few complications due to being self employed and a few other things. He was with us through the process and helped us obtain our visas. Since we are still learning Spanish he would let us call him when needed and would translate if we were at the immigration office or notary. He later helped us with the purchase of a property which had a challenging seller but he really helped with them and even while he was out of town since he knew the deal was time sensitive! He speaks great English and is very reasonably priced. We’ll definitely use Daniel when we re-apply for our visas or for anything else."

He was also very affordable compared to some other lawyers I researched. In addition, he provided ongoing help and assistance as I transitioned over to Colombia. His English was easy to understand and I always felt very at home talking with Daniel. If you require any services that Daniel is offering, I would make sure to utilize him. He came highly referred and now I see why. I would hire him again for anything I have going on period!"

"Excellent service. Do yourselves a favor and use capital M when navigating legal questions in Colombia. They helped me with investment as a foreign citizen. Answered my multiple questions in a timely manger, for an excellent rate and even followed up beyond what can be expected in North America. Daniel was very thorough and easy to talk to. He breaks down legal concepts in simple notions with actual examples. Feels like dealing with a friend, more than a lawyer. They're my go to firm whenever I need to get legal advice in Colombia."

Colombian Real Estate Guide

If you are planning to buy a finca, an apartment, or any real estate property in Colombia, it's important to know that the process is quite different from that in the USA, Europe, and other countries.

In Colombia, the absence of escrow accounts, the notarial and registration rules, and our own negotiation culture, can be challenging sometimes.

Here, you'll find information about the process, property search tools, and frequently asked questions to help guide your real estate journey in Colombia.

1

Timing & Banking

Once you have found your dream property and before sending a written offer (which could be legally binding), you want to make sure that you have the available funds in Colombia and properly registered before the Central Bank...
2

Due Diligence

Some properties may have mortgages, probate issues, liens, or other legal encumbrances that sellers or their representatives could forget to disclose upfront. To confirm this information, it's important to perform a title search. This involves a thorough review of relevant documents, such as previous deeds, the ownership certificate, the seller's background, and HOA rules. This review provides peace of mind, ensuring that the property has no legal restrictions and can be transferred to you without issues. Additionally, findings from the title search may present new points for negotiation with the seller.
3

Prep Docs

Due to the lack of a widespread use of an escrow account, Colombians use a contract called "Promesa de Compraventa" to ensure the deal and to penalize the party who withdraws from the deal without a reason. This contract is a private document that will set all the essential points of the deal: Price, payment structure, delivery date, and related obligations. It will also set a date, time and notary in which the deeds will get signed.
4

Process Monitoring

We keep you updated on every step of the application status and handle any follow-ups with the immigration authority.
5

Approval & Issuance

Once your visa is approved, we verify all documentation, guide you through final payments, and confirm the details of your visa.
6

CĂ©dula de extranjerĂ­a

After visa approval, we assist you in obtaining your CĂ©dula de extranjerĂ­a, ensuring you meet all requirements and understand next steps.

Our fees for real estate legal services start from $1,500,000 COP.

We accept credit cards and international transfers
