For foreigners in Colombia, obtaining the RUT can be done virtually by scheduling appointments on the web portal of the National Directorate of Taxes and Customs (DIAN).

You must provide in-person information about your work or business activities in Colombia when scheduling the appointment.

On the day of your appointment, you must submit the pre-filled RUT Form 001 and any other documentation requested by the authorities.

After scheduling your appointment, you will receive an email with the response to your request.

Note: The scheduling and appointment process is in Spanish.
