Readable photos and documents for Colombia visas
Many procedures are delayed by something as simple as a blurry photo or an unreadable scan. Taking care with document quality avoids returns and lost time.
Photographs
Use a light background, a visible face, no dark glasses or accessories, and the size and format the procedure specifies. Check the current specifications.
Scans
Scan in color and good resolution, without shadows, cut edges or glare. Every passport page with data and stamps should be fully visible.
Format and size
Portals often limit file size and type. Compress without losing legibility and name files in an orderly way.
Consistency
Names, dates and numbers must match across documents. A minor difference may require clarification.
Final check
Before sending, open each file and confirm it is readable. Colombia Visa Legal can review your package.
