thanks for the clarification Bill but just to clarify, both my cedula and my conjugal visa expire on the same day so need to renew both..tomorrow it's MRE for the visa...

I have had a cedula de extranjeria temporal for 2 years now, which expires shortly, likewise my visa conjugal expires on the same date, so I will need to be visiting both the MRE and DAS to renew my documents.

One other question, last time I got my visa I did not have to make an appointment, just turned up (early!!) and joined the queue, is this still the case, or is it by appointment now?

thanks Brian, but with my wife 8 months pregnant, she'll not be with me, not least because the last time I went to the MRE there was a pretty long queue!!

Brian, can you remember what size photos you needed? 3x4? white/blue background?

Also if you can dig out the form they mailed you and mail it to me I'd appreciate it.

much appreciated

Hi you need a certified copy of your marriage certificate dated in the last 30 days ,I got mine from the registry in Bogota had to wait 2 days for it but it was free (believe it or not) I also had to have a letter from my wife supporting my application this had to be sent from England as at the time she was there all done in the Colombian Consulate in London .
You are actually supposed to renew it 30 days before it runs out you get the temporary card Cedula then change it at your local DAS in 15 days for the credit card type ok this was nearly 2 years ago so might have changed?

Please tell us tomorrow if any of the requirements have changed for the renewal. It would be nice to see some of the rules relaxed.

Keep in mind that after 3 years....

If you apply for the permanent visa, you don't need a copy of the marriage certificate.

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

My husband made the appointment for DAS for me. After I got my visa conjugal. DAS gave him the form for my cedula and a list of all the things I needed. My pics for MRE were white and my DAS pics was blue background. I got my visa right here in Cali. I didnt have to go to Bogota. I had a company to do the paperwork for me. It cost me 70,000 pesos for them to do the paperwork. Which is the cost of a bus ticket. Good luck...

Hey cant we all get along.....

That true you don't need a copy of the marriage cert for the resident visa because I'm going for it in April when my other runs out can you work on a resident visa without getting anything else I know you have to renew the actual visa every 5 years.
