Colombia Migrant Visa (Type M)

The Migrant Visa (Type M) is for foreign nationals who intend to settle in Colombia but do not yet meet the conditions for a Resident (Type R) visa. It is a broad category covering, among others, the spouse or permanent partner of a Colombian national, workers, businesspeople, independent professionals, students in formal programmes, real-estate investors, retirees and rentiers, refugees, religious workers and Mercosur migrants. The exact eligibility rules depend on your circumstances — confirm them against the official Cancillería guidance.
