Documentation Requirements for Colombia Buyers

Preparing the right documentation is essential for a smooth mortgage process. Here is what Colombia buyers typically need:

Colombian buyers should prepare their cedula de ciudadania, valid passport, RUT (Registro Unico Tributario) from DIAN, and Declaracion de Renta (income tax return). Bank statements from Colombian institutions should be translated and notarized. Business owners should provide Camara de Comercio registration and financial statements for their empresa.

Tax Considerations for Colombia Buyers

Colombia and the US do not have a comprehensive income tax treaty, though a limited tax information exchange agreement exists. Colombian buyers are subject to FIRPTA 15% withholding on sale.
