Migración Colombia has introduced a new
two-year Special Visitor Visa (V- Visa de Visitante
Especial) for Venezuelan nationals who were in Colombia as of
December 4, 2024, have a clean criminal record, no open deportation
or expulsion cases, and do not hold any other nationality. The visa
will include an open work permit, allowing Venezuelan holders to
work for themselves or any employer in Colombia. Eligible
Venezuelan nationals can apply for the Special Visitor Visa
starting March 4, 2025, until December 4, 2026. Before applying,
they must obtain a verification and commitment document
from Migración Colombia upon completing
an administrative regularization process with this agency. The
government is implementing this visa to facilitate the integration
of the Venezuelan migrant population into the country's labor
market. Interested applicants should contact their immigration
professional for more information and case-specific advice.
