FAQS

What type of visa do I need to migrate to Colombia?

It depends on your purpose: work, study, investment, family reunification, or digital nomad status. Colombia offers Visitor (V), Migrant (M), and Resident (R) visas, each with specific requirements.

Si estás esperando la aprobación de tu tarjeta verde (Green Card), puedes solicitar un work permit through the Form I-765: Application for Employment AuthorizationWithout this document, it is not legal to work in the U.S. while waiting for your visa. Additionally, some nonimmigrant visas allow you to work if your employer files a petition with the U.S. USCIS

To apply for a Colombian visa, you must have:

  • Valid passport in good condition and with free space for visas.

  • Electronic visa application form duly completed.

  • Supporting documents, such as criminal records, bank statements, and employment certifications, depending on the type of visa.

  • Apostille or legalization of foreign documents and official translation into Spanish if they are not in this language.

To obtain a Social Security Number (SSN) in the US, you must:

  1. Complete Form SS-5 of application.

  2. Present identification documents, such as a passport or residence card (Green Card).

  3. Go to a Social Security office to submit the application.

  4. Wait for the card to be issued, which usually takes approximately 14 days.

The processing time for a Colombian visa varies depending on the type of visa and the consulate's workload. In general:

  • Visitor visa: 15 to 20 business days.

  • Resident or migrant visa: It may take longer, depending on background checks and additional requirements.

  • If additional documentation or an interview is required, the process can extend up to 30 calendar days.
