🏛️ Washington D.C. Apostille

🌐 Official Translations
Certified translations accepted by Colombian authorities for your visa or legal process. Your documents keep their legal value once translated into Spanish.

A complete review of your file before submission, checking for gaps, errors, and missing requirements. A well-built file reduces avoidable delays and rejections.
📄 Basic Paperwork Review
A quick review of your key documents to catch the most common mistakes before submission. Ideal when you've prepared your paperwork yourself and want a second, expert review.

What is the fundamental difference between a Visitor (V) and a Migrant (M) Visa?
expand_more
A Visitor (V) Visa is designed for temporary stays without the intention of establishing domicile, and does not accumulate time toward residency. Conversely, a Migrant (M) Visa is for foreign nationals seeking to establish themselves in Colombia for medium to long-term activities, and generally allows the holder to accumulate time toward a Permanent Resident (R) Visa.
Can I legally work or conduct business in Colombia with a visa?
expand_more
Work authorization depends entirely on the visa category. Resident (R) Visas allow unrestricted lawful employment. Specific Migrant (M) and Visitor (V) Visas permit work, but are strictly limited to the sponsoring entity, the approved independent professional activity, or the specific business mandate granted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Is it possible to obtain a visa by investing in real estate or starting a business?
expand_more
Yes. The Colombian government offers the Migrant (M) Real Estate Investor Visa for direct property investments (minimum 350 SMMLV) and the Migrant (M) Partner or Owner Visa for corporate investments in legally constituted commercial entities (minimum 100 SMMLV). Both require strict adherence to foreign exchange regulations via the Central Bank.
Can I include my family members in my visa application?
expand_more
Yes. Primary visa holders can act as sponsors for eligible dependents—such as a spouse, permanent partner, and economically dependent children—through a Beneficiary Visa. This grants them legal permanence, though it does not authorize remunerated employment.
How long does the visa application and evaluation process take?
expand_more
Once an application is successfully submitted and the government study fee is registered, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs legally has up to 30 calendar days to process and issue a formal decision on the application.
