IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? Foreign nationals seeking validation of their educational degrees by Colombian authorities are subject to a new process.
What does the change mean? Processing times during the first stages of the validation process will take longer. Applicants will need to obtain an academic certificate by the educational institution translated into Spanish and apostilled, and then the Ministry of Education will issue a preliminary letter indicating that documentary requirements have been fulfilled.
BAL Analysis: Foreign employees should anticipate delays and longer timelines as the new procedures are implemented. Companies should adjust business schedules accordingly, as the degree validation process is separate from the visa process and affects work start dates.
