Colombia visa status checker

How to check your Colombia application

Visa and consular requests covered by Colombia’s Foreign Ministry application-enquiry service.

Step-by-step instructions

1. Open the official Cancillería application-status enquiry linked from its consular FAQ.
2. Choose the request type and enter the application and identification fields shown for your own request.
3. Read the result and follow any instructions issued by the visa authority. Keep the email used in your application available for official messages.

Choose the correct application type

Apostille or legalisation tracking is a different service; use the enquiry linked specifically from the visa/consular FAQ.

Information to keep ready

Keep your application acknowledgement, submission date, visa category and the name of the submitting office available. The official service determines which identifiers are required. Enter personal information only in that service; VisaWand does not need your passport number, login password or application reference.

If the record cannot be found

Compare the service and reference with your receipt and check the fields requested on the official screen. A technical error or missing result does not establish a decision. Follow the handling office’s help instructions if the record still cannot be retrieved.

After an update or decision

Read the actual notice and any document request, collection instruction or deadline. Passport movement, the validity of an issued permission and progress of a pending application are separate checks. Use the decision notice to confirm the outcome and next action.
