Colombia
South America
Colombia's 183-day tax residency clock runs completely independent of your visa, so a compliant digital nomad on the V visa can still trip into worldwide taxation. The V visa itself, in place since 2022, is the clean route for foreign-employer remote work once the 180-day tourist ceiling runs out.
