What is the change? Colombian authorities are no longer accepting in-person visa requests, and all visas must be applied for online.
What does the change mean? Visas must be requested online, even for applicants in urgent cases who previously relied on the in-person process.
Analysis & Comments: Businesses and foreign nationals applying for visas in-country should factor in the mandatory online process when planning business schedules and no longer rely on the in-person option for urgent cases. Applicants should only appear at the visa office in Bogota if they are summoned to do so via email. The consulate visa applications will remain the same and the requirements will depend on the individual Colombian consulates abroad.
