Following the earthquake recorded on August 10, 2026, Migración Colombia announced the temporary suspension of in-person services at seven Migration Service Facilitation Centers (CFSM), as a preventive measure to verify the safety conditions of its facilities and protect both employees and users.
The affected locations are:
- Manizales
- Pereira
- Quibdó
- Cali
- Popayán
- Medellín
- Armenia
What This Means for Companies and Individuals with Ongoing Immigration Matters
At this time, Migración Colombia has indicated that the measure applies to in-person services at these locations and that it will provide further information once services are restored.
Other Migración Colombia offices nationwide continue to operate normally.
