Colombia Visa Services

Colombia offers three categories of visas for foreigners: Visitor (Type V) for temporary stays up to two years, Migrant (Type M) for those establishing long-term residence, and Resident (Type R) for permanent settlement. Each category encompasses multiple visa subtypes designed for specific situations — from digital nomads and investors to retirees and spouses of Colombian nationals.

Navigating Colombian immigration law requires precision. Resolution 5477 and subsequent updates from the Cancillería govern all visa applications, and requirements change annually with the minimum wage adjustment. A single missing document or incorrectly formatted submission can result in denial, delays, or loss of application fees. Our immigration team stays current with every regulatory change.

Whether you are relocating to Medellín, investing in Colombian real estate, retiring in the City of Eternal Spring, or building a business here, our lawyers handle the entire process — from initial eligibility assessment to post-approval cédula de extranjería registration.
