Cancillería's Resolution 5477 of 2022 classifies visas into three types. Visitor (V), which includes digital nomad (Art. 46), student (Art. 36) and rentista (Art. 56). Migrant (M), which includes pensioner (Art. 77), investor (Art. 79), worker and spouse of a Colombian national. Resident (R), for example by accumulated time (Art. 90).
Under Resolution 3969 of 2026, the application review costs USD 56. If the visa is approved, issuance costs USD 138 for V visas, USD 204 for M visas and USD 183 for R visas. Some nationalities are exempt; the final amount is set by Cancillería's platform.
For most categories, Resolution 5477 requires a health policy covering Colombian national territory for the validity of the visa, for example tourism (Art. 34), student (Art. 36), digital nomad (Art. 46), rentista (Art. 56), pensioner (Art. 77) and investor (Art. 79).
