Saludos From Cali-Vet
« on: January 03, 2007, 07:14:23 PM »
Saludos. I´ve been away from the board for a while but I´m celebrating a milestone today. After five long years of annual Temporal TS visas the Ministerio De Relaciones Exteriores in Bogotá  granted me a Permanent Resident visa. No more annual trips to Bogotá and better yet no more trips to "El D.A.S.". I was in for a surprise though. Anyone who has gone for their Temporal TS knows the visa is free to North Americans. Not so with the above visa. It cost a whopping $285 US. In addition to the stuff for the TS I needed a "pasado judicial" (police report from D.A.S,) and a "migratorio" report. That took a long time and was costly.  D.A.S. gathers up all your entry and departure information for it.

Next month another milestone, I will celebrate four years of marriage.

Welcome back Cali-Vet. I was wondering how you are doing. Congratulations on your fourth year of marriage. I remember the pics of your wife that you displayed on picturetrail. She is very beautiful.

Please excuse my ignorance about this subject, but your post has some terminoligy that I am not familiar with. Please define:

1. Temporal TS visa
2. El D.A.S.
3. Migratorio report.

Thanks,
Zack

Hello Zack good to hear from you and thanks for the kind words (and my wife is still beautifull). To answer your questions, The Colombian Ministry of Foreign Relations gives out different types of visas to foreigners according to the activity they plan to carry out in Colombia. "Temporal TS" is a visa classification (the "TS" stands for temporal especial ) that covers a broad range of activities including retirement, medical treatment, judicial proceedings, ownership of a commercial establishment, other business, United nations volenteer, landlord and adoption . It´s temporary, good for one year and must be renewed annualy at the ministry in Bogotá. After five consecutive years of receiving that visa you can apply for a resident visa which is permanent so long as you don´t leave Colombia for more than two years at a stretch. Some other visas are TE estudiante, TR religious worker, TT trabajador. Also CO courtesy visa, NE negocios, BA foreign airline employee, TA refugee, RN national resident (married to a Colombian) RC (mine) classified resident, RI resident investor, VT tourist for the countries Colombia requires a tourist visa from and one called Visiting technition. Ugh! Maybe more than you wanted to know. Ok "D.A.S." is Department of Administrative Security and "migratorio" was short for Certificado De Movimiento Migratorio refring to all your travels in and out of Colombia registered by D.A.S.
