Stay extensions (prórroga)
Tourism and certain permits may be extended through Migración Colombia before expiry, subject to the annual quota and officer discretion. File early; last-minute extensions are a common overstay trigger.

Extranjería procedures
After admission or visa issuance, Migración Colombia procedures keep your stay regular — extensions, ID cards, minors registration, sanctions, appointments, and movement certificates.
Cédula de extranjería
Many visa holders must register with Migración Colombia and obtain a cédula de extranjería within the deadline notified after visa issuance (often referenced as about 15 calendar days). Banks and local contracts frequently require this ID.
Minors registration
Children may need separate migratory registration, parental consent, and civil-registry evidence. Rules differ by visa category and by whether the minor is a beneficiary or a principal.
Sanctions & safe-conduct
Overstay can trigger administrative sanctions (commonly referenced via Resolución 2357 de 2020 and related rules). Regularization may require paying a fine and obtaining a salvoconducto before exit or a new visa filing.
Appointments & migratory movements
Many trámites require scheduled appointments and proof of entries/exits (certificado de movimientos migratorios). Keep a personal log of stamps — it speeds both DIY filings and counsel review.
