Si tienes una visa colombiana v\u00e1lida por m\u00e1s de tres meses, muy probablemente debas tramitar tu c\u00e9dula de extranjer\u00eda Colombia. Es el documento de identificaci\u00f3n que te acredita como residente temporal o permanente en el pa\u00eds y habilita tr\u00e1mites tan cotidianos como abrir una cuenta bancaria o firmar un contrato de arrendamiento.<\/p>\n

\u00bfQui\u00e9n debe tramitar la c\u00e9dula de extranjer\u00eda Colombia?<\/h2>\n

En general, todo extranjero mayor de 7 a\u00f1os con una visa vigente por m\u00e1s de tres meses debe registrar su visa y obtener la c\u00e9dula de extranjer\u00eda.<\/em><\/p>\n

Algunas actividades bajo visas tipo V (visitante) pueden estar exentas, por lo que conviene confirmar tu caso espec\u00edfico seg\u00fan el tipo de visa que tengas.<\/p>\n

Plazo para tramitarla<\/h2>\n

Debes registrar tu visa dentro de los 15 d\u00edas calendario siguientes a tu ingreso a Colombia, o desde la fecha de expedici\u00f3n si la visa se otorg\u00f3 estando ya en el pa\u00eds.<\/em><\/p>\n

Cumplir este plazo es importante: registrar la visa tarde puede generar sanciones ante Migraci\u00f3n Colombia.<\/p>\n

Documentos y pasos para tramitar la c\u00e9dula de extranjer\u00eda<\/h2>\n

El tr\u00e1mite exige registrar la visa dentro del plazo legal, verificar que tus datos coincidan con los de la visa, y pagar la tarifa vigente ante Migraci\u00f3n Colombia.<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Verificar si tu tipo de visa te obliga a tramitar el documento.<\/li>\n
  2. Completar el registro de la visa dentro del plazo legal.<\/li>\n
  3. Iniciar el tr\u00e1mite a trav\u00e9s de los canales oficiales de Migraci\u00f3n Colombia.<\/li>\n
  4. Verificar que tus datos personales (nombres, n\u00famero de pasaporte, nacionalidad) coincidan exactamente con los de tu visa.<\/li>\n
  5. Pagar la tarifa establecida por Migraci\u00f3n Colombia.<\/li>\n
  6. Hacer seguimiento a la solicitud y responder oportunamente a cualquier requerimiento.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00bfCu\u00e1nto cuesta la c\u00e9dula de extranjer\u00eda?<\/h2>\n

    El valor lo fija Migraci\u00f3n Colombia y se actualiza peri\u00f3dicamente; te recomendamos confirmar la tarifa vigente directamente con nuestro equipo o con Migraci\u00f3n Colombia antes de iniciar el tr\u00e1mite.<\/em><\/p>\n

    Las cifras publicadas en distintas fuentes cambian de un a\u00f1o a otro, por lo que evitamos citar un valor espec\u00edfico aqu\u00ed: nuestro equipo de Derecho Migratorio puede confirmarte el costo actualizado antes de que inicies el proceso de c\u00e9dula de extranjer\u00eda Colombia.<\/p>\n

    Preguntas frecuentes<\/h2>\n

    \u00bfQu\u00e9 pasa si no tramito la c\u00e9dula de extranjer\u00eda a tiempo?<\/h3>\n

    Puedes enfrentar sanciones administrativas por parte de Migraci\u00f3n Colombia por no registrar tu visa dentro del plazo legal.<\/p>\n

    \u00bfLa c\u00e9dula de extranjer\u00eda reemplaza mi pasaporte?<\/h3>\n

    No. Es un documento adicional de identificaci\u00f3n en Colombia; debes conservar tu pasaporte vigente para tr\u00e1mites internacionales.<\/p>\n

    \u00bfQu\u00e9 hago si mi visa cambia o se renueva?<\/h3>\n

    Debes actualizar el registro correspondiente y, en la mayor\u00eda de los casos, renovar tambi\u00e9n tu c\u00e9dula de extranjer\u00eda asociada a la nueva visa.<\/p>\n

    \u00bfPuedo trabajar en Colombia solo con la c\u00e9dula de extranjer\u00eda?<\/h3>\n

    La autorizaci\u00f3n para trabajar depende del tipo de visa asociada, no \u00fanicamente de tener la c\u00e9dula de extranjer\u00eda.<\/p>\n
