Basis review
We review how the union was recognized and identify the records relevant to the application.
VISA M — COMPAÑERO(A) PERMANENTE
Permanent partner of a Colombian citizen
Support for applicants whose de facto union with a Colombian citizen has been formally recognized under Colombian law.
Eligibility and documentation
This category is based on a legally recognized permanent partnership, rather than marriage. Informal cohabitation by itself may not establish the legal basis required for the application.
Recognition of the union
The application requires evidence that the de facto union has been established through an accepted Colombian legal mechanism.
Identity and supporting records
The file includes identity records and supporting documents specific to the applicant, the Colombian partner, and the recognized union.
Case-specific review
The form and date of recognition affect the document plan. We verify the applicable requirements before preparation begins.

Permanent-partner Visa M questions
Is living together enough to qualify?
Not necessarily. This category depends on formal recognition of the de facto union under Colombian law. We review the available legal record before defining the application scope.
Is this the same as the spouse category?
No. Both are relationship-based Visa M categories, but they rely on different legal records and supporting evidence.
