| Field | BrazilNômade digital | ColombiaVisa M Pensionado |
|---|---|---|
| Official pathway | Nômade digital | Visa M Pensionado |
| Country | Brazil | Colombia |
| Route type | Digital nomad | Retirement |
| Applicant basis | Remote professional activity for a foreign employer | Qualifying pension |
| Initial status | Temporary visa or residence authorization; the published initial period is up to one year. | Migrant (M) visa. |
| Financial basis | USD 1,500 in monthly foreign-source means, or USD 18,000 in available bank funds. | At least three Colombian statutory monthly minimum wages; this page does not convert that indexed amount. |
| Renewal | The official guide states that successive renewals may be available, subject to the current procedure. | The visa’s duration and renewal remain subject to the current visa decision and rules. |
| Dependents | Not modeled on this page; confirm beneficiary rules with the authority. | The governing resolution permits principal visa holders to request beneficiary visas under the defined beneficiary rules. |
| Work rights | Remote work for a foreign employer. The resolution excludes work for a Brazilian employer from this definition. | This pension route is based on pension income, not a local-employment offer. |
| Presence considerations | No citizenship-presence conclusion is inferred from this temporary route. | Actual visa continuity and time in Colombia affect residence accumulation. |
| Permanent-residence relationship | No automatic permanent-residence conversion is stated in the cited resolution. | The current accumulated-time table lists five years for the M Pensionado route before an R application; meeting time alone does not guarantee approval. |
| Citizenship relationship | Ordinary naturalization has separate residence-for-an-undetermined-period and continuity rules. | Naturalization requires a valid Resident visa and domicile; the naturalization decision is discretionary. |

An unconfirmed field is not a negative finding. It means the current research does not yet support a sufficiently specific statement for that route.
