What is the Visa Transfer?
You’ll need a transfer when you renew or replace a lost passport, correct errors on your e-visa, update your identity details, or change your sponsoring entity. Permanent residents have an official transfer deadline running through October 2026. We prepare the full file — the letter of motivation, your migration-movements certificate, and any apostilled or translated documents — so your visa stays in good standing on the right document.
It applies to any visa you already hold: Visitor (V), Migrant (M), or Resident (R).

Why the Visa Transfer?
When your passport changes, your Colombian visa shouldn't start over. A transfer keeps it valid — on the right document, and in good standing.
Validity of the visa
The transfer grants a new validity period to the originally issued visa.
Covers the Whole Family
We transfer every visa together — yours and your beneficiaries' — in a single, coordinated process.
One Low, Flat Fee
The official government fee is a flat $112, identical for Visitor, Migrant, or Resident visas. No re-applying, no full-visa cost.
We Handle the Paperwork
Letter of motivation, migration-movements certificate, apostilles, and official translations — we prepare the full file so the transfer goes through clean.
Stay Legal & In Good Standing
We keep your visa and cédula aligned to the new one — and your status intact.
Beat the 2026 Deadline
Permanent residents must complete their visa transfer by October 2026. We get your file submitted well ahead of the cutoff.
