Pasofolio ships one country at a time, and only when the field work is honest enough to put our name on it. Live today: Colombia, Panama, and Brazil. Expansion is under way across the rest of South America and then broader Latin America — and no country ships with a launch date until a guide is real.
Each guide ships as its own country field manual — same six chapters, same field-manual shape. The bundle saves $44 and ships all three.
The lead guide. The largest US expat and digital-nomad base in the region, and the lowest realistic monthly cost.
Medellín and Bogotá, named by neighborhood. The V-tipo digital-nomad visa as the consulado stamps it this year.
For American retirees with a lifetime pension. Dollar economy, real retiree discounts, the Pensionado visa.
The Pensionado visa unlocks discounts that compound for decades — but only if the pension is the real check, not savings math.
For digital nomads who speak or learn Portuguese. Unrestricted foreign property ownership.
The Portuguese-language gap is real. The guide spells out where English gets you and where it does not.
The working shortlist after Brazil is the rest of South America, then broader Latin America. The list below is honest about who is on the rotation — and adds no launch dates until a guide is real.
Buenos Aires and Mendoza. The most distinctive cost-of-living arbitrage in the region — once you price the peso honestly.
Lima and the Pacific coast. The permanent-residency-by-income path opens a non-pension retirement route worth filing.
Santiago, Valparaíso, and the south. Stable institutions and the quietest housing market of the working shortlist.
Montevideo and Punta del Este. Long-stay European rhythm and the most underwritten tax-residency rule in the region.
CDMX, Mérida, Puerto Vallarta. The obvious first move — and the cities where the cost-of-living claim actually holds today.
San José and the Pacific coast. The long-running expat favorite, written honestly against current monthly costs.
Antigua and Lake Atitlán. The lower-cost alternative for readers willing to live with the trade-offs.
Placencia and Cayo. The English-speaking edge case — and what the official language gets, and does not get, you.
We do not ship a country until the field work is honest. New guides appear here when the guide is ready — and the same fact-pattern review (rent anchored to current listings named by street, visa filed in the consulado the year it ships) governs every country we add.
If a guide does not change your shortlist of cities — if it does not save you from at least one wrong apartment or one mis-timed visa filing — write us and we will refund you. No forms, no friction.
The Pasofolio guides are editorial field manuals. They are not legal, tax, or investment advice. Visa rules change; currency rules change. Double-check current consulate sources before filing.
