Residency for Foreigners in Colombia

The resident visa is the most stable one Colombia grants. It is reached after accumulating time on a migrant visa, or through its own paths such as investment, and it is the natural step before considering nationality.

The first thing we look at is your dates: how long you have held a migrant visa, whether there were interruptions, and which path suits you. That determines whether the application makes sense now or is worth waiting for.

What your residency filing includes

• Review of the time accumulated and the path that applies to you
• Preparation of the supporting documents for your stay and current situation
• Filing of the application with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
• Foreigner ID card processing and follow-up afterwards
