Why This Matters

Preserving value is about individuals determining if jurisdiction, taxation, property rights and cost of living allow for value to actually compound over time – or whether it slowly erodes through regulation, friction and rigidity.

This page exists for Europeans who are:

  • diversifying beyond fiat-centric systems
  • questioning long-time regulatory trajectories in Europe
  • looking for real-world anchors aligned with Bitcoin principles

Why Colombia

Colombia allows something increasingly rare:
establishing a territorial base that is economically accessible, legally clear, and structurally flexible.

For Bitcoiners relocating or diversifying from highly regulated European jurisdictions, Colombia enables the preservation — and practical deployment — of capital in a lower-friction environment.

A simple example illustrates the difference:

  • Property Transfer Tax in Catalonia (Spain): ~10%
  • Comparable property acquisition tax in Colombia (“Impuesto de Beneficencia”): ~1%

Lower entry costs mean more capital stays productive — instead of being absorbed by the system before value creation even begins.


Why Antioquia

Not all regions in Colombia are equal.

Antioquia stands out due to a rare combination of human, geographic, and infrastructural factors:

  • Entrepreneurial mindset — not a bureaucratic or dependency-driven culture
  • Abundant natural resources, especially water and fertile land
  • Strategic location centered around Medellín
  • Strong regional identity and private initiative

Subsection — Eastern Antioquia

Eastern Antioquia (Oriente Antioqueño) is particularly well positioned.

  • Elevation between 1,900 and 2,700 meters above sea level
  • Mild tropical climate with cooler nights
  • Abundant rainfall and uninterrupted water cycles
  • Direct proximity to Medellín while maintaining rural character
  • International airport (MDE) located in Rionegro

This balance between accessibility and autonomy is precisely what long-term settlement requires.


Property Rights for Foreigners

Property ownership in Colombia is straightforward and well-defined.

Securing ownership follows a clear two-step process:

  1. Registration in the National Public Registry
  2. Issuance of the “Certificado de Tradición y Libertad”
    — the official land certificate proving ownership and title history

This certificate is the definitive proof of ownership and is publicly verifiable.

Residency Note

Ownership of qualifying real estate also enables:

  • A 3-year Migrant Visa for the buyer and immediate family
  • Eligibility for permanent residency after 5 years
  • Requirement: presence in Colombia at least once every 6 months

A Practical Guide for Sovereign Acquisition

We have prepared a concise guide that explains the full operational, legal and financial framework for acquiring property in Colombia as a European — including risks, timelines and traceability.

Bitcoin & Lightning Payments

Kompass Frei supports Bitcoin and Lightning payments as part of a broader sovereignty-oriented approach.

That said, not every transaction in Colombia can be settled entirely on-chain or via Lightning due to local legal and registry requirements.

Whenever that’s the case, we carefully guide each process, ensuring:

  • compliance where required
  • minimal friction
  • clarity at every step
  • no unnecessary exposure

Bitcoin is treated as infrastructure, not marketing.


What Kompass Frei Does Differently

We work through a curated, sovereign, and bespoke approach:

  • Properties are filtered for long-term viability, not speculation
  • Legal, geographic, and infrastructural factors are evaluated together
  • We prioritize land and homes payable in BTC and suited for living, not flipping
  • Each process is adapted to the buyer — not standardized

We don’t just accept Bitcoin.

We structure the deal in Bitcoin.

This guide is not a product.
It is a filter.

If, after reading, you recognize the constraints, the responsibilities,
and the level of personal involvement required to structure real estate beyond fiat,

you may be ready for a conversation.

Kompass Frei does not intermediate funds.
We do not custody assets.
We do not optimize shortcuts.

We work only with buyers willing to assume full sovereignty over:
– their capital (self-custody)
– their decisions
– and their legal responsibility

Our fees are fixed and Bitcoin-denominated.
We do not charge percentages, success fees, or custody-based commissions. This removes price-based incentives and keeps our role aligned with execution quality — not asset inflation.
