COLOMBIA – Delays in Issuing Foreigner ID Cards
July 15, 2024
By: Diana Monsalve
Since June 2024, Colombia has faced significant delays in issuing foreigner ID cards due to operational changes at Migración Colombia. The issue has persisted despite no regulatory changes taking effect, or official statements regarding the delays.
In March 2024, Migración Colombia contracted the National Printing Office to handle the issuance of foreigner ID cards, leading to the previous provider ceasing operations on April 30th. It apears that these operational changes have contributed to the delays observed since June 2024.
These delays may affect foreign workers’ ability to join the General Social Security System and open bank accounts for salary payments, potentially impacting their start dates even if their visas are approved.
