Colombia visa processing takes about five business days to process a visitor e-visa for Colombia. If you're applying for a visa that allows you to stay longer, such as Сolombia visa de residente and Colombia visa digital nomad, it may take about 30 days.

When you apply for a Colombian visa, you'll have to pay two different fees: one to process your application and another fee if you get the visa. Colombia visa fees vary depending on where you're from:

If you're applying from Cuba or a European country, the fee is about $43.
If you're applying from Colombia itself or from a country outside of Europe, it's about $52.

If the Colombian visa is approved, you'll need to pay a second fee, which varies between $170 and $240 depending on your nationality.
