If you are looking for a program that tailors to your specific goals, needs, and interests we also have:
Migration Issues
Migration issues
An evidence of international health insurance valid in Colombia for the total time of studies in the University is necessary. This insurance should cover at least: emergencies and hospitalization, medical expenses and repatriation for up to $50,000 USD.
PID Students
A student visa is required if you are planning to stay for more than 180 days. A shorter period will require a special stamp granted by the immigration office at the arrival port. A tourist stamp is not enough. Please notice that status requirements vary from one country to another. We suggest you check this with the competent office (Embassy, consulate or others).
If you are staying for only one semester at the Spanish Program you will just need an entry permit (PID) which is stamped in the airport at your arrival in Colombia. Before the 90 days expiration of the PID permit, students must obtain a PID permit at the Migration Office in Medellín (approximate cost: $36 USD)
Student visa
A student visa is required if you are planning to stay for more than 180 days.
The steps you must follow in order to apply for a Tipo V visa are:
Enter the website of the Colombian consulate in your country and consult if it is possible to apply online or if you must carry out the process directly with an officer at the consulate.
If you can apply online, please have the following documents ready before completing the online form:
- Letter of Acceptance from Universidad EAFIT.
- Copy of your Passport openned on the page with your photo and information.
- If you are applying inside Colombian territory, you must have a copy of the page with the entry stamps.
- A letter from the person economically responsible of the expenses you will incur in during your studies in Colombia along with a bank certification that shows an average of 10 monthly official minimum wages during the last 6 months.
- A recent photo of 4cmx3cm.
Once you have these documents ready, access the online form at SITAC and complete your visa application. Don't forget to specify that you will study at Universidad EAFIT.
To finalize the application process, you must pay $ 16 USD. Once your visa is approved, you will have to pay $ 51 USD.
Once you receive your electronic visa, you must go to a Colombian consulate to get it stamped on your passport. This step is VERY important because without the visa stamped in your passport you can't apply for the foreign ID card. NB: If you couldn't get to a Colombian consulate for this step, you can also complete it in Bogota.
If your consulate does not allow you to apply online, then take the documents mentioned above to the consulate at the time of your appointment and complete the process they indicate.
If you need further information regarding visas and their application processes, we recommend accessing Classes Visas.

Why EAFIT?
More Than 60 Years of History. Universidad EAFIT was born in a decade marked by constant change. It was the dawn of the 1960s when a group of 19 regional business leaders – in tune with the cultural, social, and economic transformations on the horizon globally – founded an institution to serve as a training ground for their companies' future managers and administrators.
