Colombia’s presence route requires more than 183 days in any consecutive 365-day period, including arrival and departure dates.
The rule
Visits need not be continuous. If the qualifying period crosses tax years, residence begins in the second year under this route. Colombian nationals may also need to review the additional family, income, assets and foreign-residence criteria.
Counting the days
Recorded arrival and departure dates count once. Missing travel history, other eligibility conditions and treaty outcomes are not calculated.
- Choose the date through which you want to count, then add your recorded visits.
- Use the counting convention above. Overlapping recorded dates in the relevant region are counted only once.
- Read the result alongside the conditions. Missing records and other eligibility requirements are not inferred from a total.
Examples
These examples demonstrate the counter's arithmetic, using a count-through date of 30 October 2026. They do not determine legal status or eligibility.

Exceptions & edge cases
The 365-day count is not a calendar-year count. Colombian nationality, family and economic ties may establish residence separately; cross-year attribution is not calculated.

Common misconceptions
“A count below the day threshold settles tax residence.”
A recorded-day total is one component. Review the separate conditions and exceptions described on this page.
“A new calendar year resets this counter.”
This is a rolling window. Dates leave the window as time moves forward.
