¿La Resolución 5477 exige una póliza de salud para todas las categorías de visa?

No. La Resolución establece requisitos por categoría, no una obligación uniforme para todas las visas. Los artículos 34 (V Turismo), 36 (V Estudiante), 46 (V Nómada Digital) y 77 (M Pensionado) contienen reglas específicas; confirma cuál aplica y revisa la lista vigente antes de comprar. Resolución 5477 de 2022 · Tipos de visa .

¿Qué aspectos de la póliza debo contrastar con el requisito de mi visa?

Comprueba que coincidan el territorio cubierto en Colombia, los riesgos descritos en el artículo aplicable y el período de permanencia previsto. El texto revisado no fija una suma asegurada mínima ni un deducible universal, ni establece la aceptación automática de cualquier póliza comercial. Compara las condiciones escritas del producto con el requisito de tu categoría. Consulta el texto de la Resolución 5477 .

¿Qué exige el artículo 34 para la Visa V Turismo?

El artículo 34 contempla una póliza de salud en Colombia para los riesgos allí enumerados durante la permanencia prevista. La póliza no sustituye los demás documentos de la categoría: Cancillería incluye reservas de tiquetes de entrada y salida entre los requisitos, y Migración puede solicitar el tiquete de salida al ingreso. Confirma el checklist vigente antes de presentar la solicitud. Resolución 5477 · Requisitos por tipo de visa .

¿Qué alternativas de cobertura contempla el artículo 77 para la Visa M Pensionado?

El artículo 77 contempla acreditar cubrimiento de salud en Colombia o presentar una póliza con cobertura territorial y los riesgos indicados durante la permanencia prevista. El artículo trata por separado la afiliación del titular al Sistema de Seguridad Social colombiano y prevé la salvedad de acuerdos bilaterales o multilaterales aplicables. Presentar una póliza no equivale, por sí solo, a estar afiliado a una EPS. Revisa la ficha de Visa M Pensionado y la norma .

¿Qué requisitos de salud e ingresos aplican a la Visa V Nómada Digital?

El artículo 46 contempla una póliza para los riesgos indicados, con cobertura en Colombia durante la permanencia prevista. La categoría también exige acreditar ingresos mínimos de 3 SMLMV durante los tres meses anteriores. No presupongas que una afiliación a EPS sustituye la póliza; comprueba los requisitos vigentes de la categoría. Resolución 5477 · Tipos de visa .

¿Qué debe revisar quien solicita la Visa V Estudiante?

La categoría oficial es Visa V Estudiante, no M Estudiante. El artículo 36 contempla una póliza y documentos académicos; la lista concreta puede variar según la modalidad de solicitud. Verifica el programa, la ruta de aplicación y los documentos vigentes en la ficha de Visa V Estudiante y en la Resolución 5477 .

¿Tener una póliza de salud significa estar afiliado al Sistema de Seguridad Social colombiano?

No son conceptos equivalentes: una póliza acredita cobertura conforme a sus condiciones, mientras que la afiliación al sistema es una situación distinta. El artículo 77 incluye una regla específica sobre afiliación para titulares de Visa M Pensionado, con salvedad para acuerdos internacionales aplicables; no debe generalizarse a otras categorías. Revisa el artículo 77 de la Resolución 5477 .

¿Una póliza internacional de viaje se acepta automáticamente para una visa en Colombia?

No debe asumirse una aceptación automática. Compara la categoría, el territorio cubierto en Colombia, los riesgos enumerados y el período exigido con el texto de la póliza y el checklist vigente. La Resolución revisada no fija una suma asegurada mínima ni un deducible universal. Resolución 5477 · Tipos de visa .

By Pacho Viloria · Specialist in Colombian visa assistance.

No. Resolution 5477 sets requirements by category; it does not impose one uniform policy requirement for every visa. Articles 34 (V Tourist), 36 (V Student), 46 (V Digital Nomad) and 77 (M Pensioner) contain specific rules. Confirm which article applies and check the current list before buying. Resolution 5477 of 2022 · Visa types.

Check that the policy matches the territory in Colombia, the risks named in the applicable article and the intended period of stay. The text reviewed does not set a universal minimum insured amount or deductible, or automatically accept every commercial policy. Compare the written policy terms with the requirement for your category. Read Resolution 5477.

Article 34 describes a health policy in Colombia for the listed risks during the intended stay. The policy does not replace the category’s other documents: Cancillería includes inbound and outbound ticket reservations among the requirements, and Migration may request an outbound ticket on arrival. Check the current list before applying. Resolution 5477 · Visa-category requirements.

Article 77 allows applicants to prove health coverage in Colombia or provide a policy with territorial coverage and the listed risks for the intended stay. It separately addresses the holder’s affiliation to Colombia’s Social Security System, with an exception for applicable bilateral or multilateral agreements. A policy does not, by itself, establish EPS affiliation. Review Cancillería’s M Pensioner visa page and the regulation.

Article 46 describes a policy for the listed risks, with coverage in Colombia during the intended stay. The category also requires proof of income of at least 3 SMLMV during the preceding three months. Do not assume EPS affiliation replaces the policy; check the current category requirements. Resolution 5477 · Visa types.

Cancillería names the category V Student, not M Student. Article 36 addresses a policy and academic documents; the exact list can vary by application route. Check the program, application route and current documents on the V Student visa page and in Resolution 5477.

No. A policy provides coverage under its terms; enrollment in the social-security system is a separate status. Article 77 has a specific rule about affiliation for M Pensioner visa holders, subject to applicable international agreements; do not generalize that rule to other categories. Review Article 77 of Resolution 5477.

Do not assume automatic acceptance. Compare the visa category, coverage in Colombia, listed risks and required period with the policy wording and current checklist. The regulation reviewed does not set a universal minimum insured amount or deductible. Resolution 5477 · Visa types.
