How do I become a Colombian Citizen

Hello Everyone,

This is my 1st post here but long time lurker. You guys rock !!

Anyway my question is " How do I become a Colombian Citizen ?" I Live in NC and have been married to a beautiful lady from Cali. I am 49 years old and looking to retire to Cali within the next 2-5 years. We are coming to Cali this Christmas ( And Fair time :-))and start looking for a house or a builder. I am wanting to start the immigration process if I can now. I will retain my US citizenship also, Any thoughts ?

Michael, unfortunately... the actual Colombian citizenship process starts after you arrive in Colombia on a "permanant" basis. After the initial period of getting the paper work at DAS you can apply after two years as a resident of Colombia but you must live in country most of the time. I suggest you visit a Columbian consulate to get the information and to start the process-consulates are near most major cities, ie Miami, NYC, LA,, Booston, et. al.

Good luck(not that hard but kinda like become a resident then a citizen in the USA)

Yeah, how the hell do you become a Colombian citizen? I though I was more Colombian than arepa, agua de panela y perico. But according to some white Colombian woman in NYC consulado, I’m not. I don’t have to proper papers or cedula. I should be asking her for papers, my people have been in this so called Colombia for ever, from the beginning of time and she has the gall to deny my native/Indian ass entry to my own country.

over 5 million colombianos in USA and only 27 barranquilleros, i'm one. CURRAMBA, EL MEJOR VIVIDERO DEL MUNDO!
