Resident Visa

4 years ago
I have just received my R visa after having held a Tp-10 ( marriage ) visa for the last 3 years.
I want to advise anyone on this forum who might go through the same process in the future that the application for the resident visa will only be accepted by the Colombian cancillerĂ­a if it is filed within, and not earlier than, one month before the expiration date of the marriage visa.
I hired Luz from the visa agency " Emigrando " in Pereira ( 320 7000821 ) to obtain this visa for me and I can highly recommend her services. She is very knowledgeable, experienced and honest. Filing the application, sending my passport to Bogota and me getting it back with the new visa stamped into it took exactly 7 days. Luz charges 350.000 for this service and as I wanted to avoid having to travel to Bogota ( which would anyway have cost me nearly as much ) this cost seemed reasonable to me.
