Informational guide based on Resolution 5477 of 2022 and Cancillería's public visa pages. Requirements depend on the category and may be updated; check the current official list before submitting documents.
No. The Resolution sets requirements by category, not a uniform obligation for all visas. Articles 34 (V Tourism), 36 (V Student), 46 (V Digital Nomad) and 77 (M Pensioner) contain specific rules; confirm which one applies and check the current list before buying. Resolution 5477 of 2022 · Visa types.
Check that the territory covered in Colombia, the risks described in the applicable article and the planned period of stay all match. The reviewed text does not set a minimum sum insured or a universal deductible, nor does it establish automatic acceptance of any commercial policy. Compare the product's written conditions with the requirement for your category. See the text of Resolution 5477.
Article 34 provides for a health policy in Colombia covering the risks listed there for the planned stay. The policy does not replace the category's other documents: Cancillería includes entry and exit ticket reservations among the requirements, and Migración may ask for the exit ticket on arrival. Confirm the current checklist before submitting your application. Resolution 5477 · Requirements by visa type.
Article 77 allows you to prove health coverage in Colombia or to present a policy with territorial coverage and the stated risks for the planned stay. The article deals separately with the holder's enrollment in the Colombian Social Security System and provides an exception for applicable bilateral or multilateral agreements. Presenting a policy is not, by itself, the same as being enrolled in an EPS. Review the M Pensioner Visa page and the regulation.
Article 46 provides for a policy covering the stated risks, with coverage in Colombia for the planned stay. The category also requires proof of minimum income of 3 SMLMV (monthly minimum wages) during the previous three months. Do not assume that EPS enrollment replaces the policy; check the category's current requirements. Resolution 5477 · Visa types.
The official category is the V Student Visa, not M Student. Article 36 provides for a policy and academic documents; the exact list may vary depending on how you apply. Check the program, the application route and the current documents on the V Student Visa page and in Resolution 5477.
They are not equivalent concepts: a policy proves coverage under its own conditions, while enrollment in the system is a different situation. Article 77 includes a specific enrollment rule for M Pensioner Visa holders, with an exception for applicable international agreements; it should not be generalized to other categories. Review Article 77 of Resolution 5477.
Automatic acceptance should not be assumed. Compare the category, the territory covered in Colombia, the listed risks and the required period with the policy wording and the current checklist. The reviewed Resolution does not set a minimum sum insured or a universal deductible. Resolution 5477 · Visa types.
No. The decision belongs to the Visa and Immigration Authority; buying a policy or plan does not guarantee approval. Paying the review fee is not a favorable decision either. See Cancillería's visa application ABC and meet the other applicable requirements.
Cancillería's ABC states a period of up to 30 calendar days once the documents are complete and the review fee has been paid; it may be extended if consultations are required. It is an administrative reference, not a guaranteed date or a promise of approval. See the official visa application ABC.
Confirm the product and the insured person, the term, the territory, the risks and benefits included, the exclusions, the applicable financial conditions, the documents you will receive and the final price. Actual coverage depends on the policy and quote issued, not on an FAQ or a general description. Also review the payment channels and instructions.
Check the official category page and Cancillería's updated procedure; an insurance quote does not replace the application or the visa decision. For payment methods, see the payment channels; for a current quote, use the form or contact CoVisas on WhatsApp. Visa types · Application ABC.
