Visa categories
Colombian visas fall into Visitor (V), Migrant (M) and Resident (R), under Resolution 5477 of 2022 from the Foreign Ministry. The right category depends on your activity: tourism, work, investment, study, pension or family tie.
Usual steps
Define the category, gather documents (with apostille and translation when required), file the application, pay fees, wait for the decision and, if approved, register the visa with Migración Colombia and obtain the foreigner ID card.
What to always verify
Minimum amounts, deadlines and documents change. Confirm everything on the official sources of the Foreign Ministry and Migración Colombia, and be wary of promises of guaranteed approval.
