Program Highlights

The Colombian Civil Union Visa (Visa de Unión Marital de Hecho) offers a path to residency for foreigners in a recognized civil partnership with a Colombian citizen.

If you have been in a legally registered civil union for more than one year, you are eligible to apply for this Migrant (M) visa, valid from 1 to 3 years, with renewal and conversion to permanent residence possible later.

Highlights include:

  • Residency rights through a recognized civil partnership

  • Visa validity of 1–3 years, renewable

  • Full access to live, work, and study in Colombia

  • Eligibility for Permanent Residency after continuous residence

  • Citizenship pathway after five years of residence

  • Straightforward documentation and fast approval process

The Civil Union Visa is ideal for couples who are not formally married but share a stable, verifiable relationship recognized under Colombian law.

  • Valid passport (minimum 6 months validity)

  • Recent criminal background check from your home country (apostilled)

  • Medical insurance valid in Colombia
