Entry stamp 90-day extension - online?

ChipW

I'm sure I filled in an online form some years ago to receive a 90-extension for my entry stamp, but now I'm not seeing any such thing. Does it still exist?

26 views and nobody knows anything about an online way to get an entry extension? I contacted a guy at migraciones and his response was:


Hola buenos días eso ya no tienes que acercarte a las oficinas lo haces en línea en la página de inmigración donde dice prórroga o permiso para prorrogar algo así se llama y listo ahí mismo en línea lo pagas no tienes que ir a ninguna sede.


Good morning. You no longer need to go to the offices; you can do it online on the immigration website where it says "extension" or "permit to extend," something like that. And that's it, you pay it right there online; you don't have to go to any office.


So, I checked both the migraciones site and the cancilleria site and neither appear to have anything related to prórroga.

Why 26 views and no reply's you ask, probably because this is an EXPAT forum and NOT a tourist visitor help center.


Us EXPATS have visas/cedulas and some deep roots in Colombia and as such 90 day tourist questions/concerns are not as much as a blimp on our radar.


So too is that the immigration rules change often so unless a person has recent and direct knowledge of getting a tourist extension then best to check elsewhere.


Question - Which city are you located in?

You can go here:

https://apps.migracioncolombia.gov.co/r … gistro.jsf


You fill out the FUT (Formulario Único de Trámites) all on-line.  It IS avaliable in English, it didn't work before for me on my phone! Probably pilot error...

There's a box to check in the upper right corner for English.


For more explanations in both languages do a search for

or

...and you'll get lots of hits.

@South American Voyager

so judgemental - I've been living in South America for 12+ years, 7 countries, 300+ towns/cities - many of which I've spent time in on multiple occasions. How long have you been in SA? Oh, I see your profile shows expat since 2022. hahahaha, who do you think you are? Some kind of super-expat?
