About the Colombian Embassy in Stockholm

Guillermo Francisco Reyes Gonzalez heads the embassy as ambassador; the Swedish diplomatic list gives 7 December 2023 as the date of the presentation of credentials. Two honorary consulates – in Lund and Malmö – support Colombian citizens outside the capital.

Consular services

Requests the consular staff deal with:

• Colombian passports and emergency travel documents
• Certification and legalisation of documents
• Powers of attorney and notarial acts
• Certificates for pensions abroad
• Visas for travellers who need one for Colombia

Documents checklist

The most frequent applications and the documents the Colombian authorities ask for:

Colombian passport (application abroad)

• Abroad, only Colombian consulates issue passports – the application and the collection are in person
• Original cédula de ciudadanía (or the original contraseña receipt if you do not have the card yet)
• To collect the passport: original Colombian ID and the payment receipt
• Ordinary passports are valid for 10 years; processing at consulates takes about 8 working days
• Minors: accompanied by a parent or legal representative with their cédula; a third party needs a special power of attorney from both parents (apostilled and translated into Spanish if made abroad)

Travelling from Sweden to Colombia

Planning a trip to Colombia? The Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs does not publish other countries’ visa rules, so check the entry requirements with the Colombian authorities; country-specific advice is available in the travel information of the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs (Sweden Abroad, in Swedish).

Closing days

Like most offices in Sweden, the embassy closes on public holidays – including Epiphany (6 January), Ascension Day and All Saints’ Day. On the Colombian national day (20 July) the office is usually closed or holds a reception. Check before visiting in the weeks around Christmas, Easter and Midsummer.

Emergency assistance

For emergencies, the embassy’s number is +46 8 21 43 20. Embassies can issue emergency travel documents, contact relatives and provide lists of lawyers or doctors; they cannot pay bills or act as a lawyer. In Sweden, the emergency number is 112. Swedish citizens who need help in Colombia should contact the Swedish embassy responsible for the country or the Swedish Foreign Ministry’s 24-hour consular duty service on +46 8 405 50 05; Sweden Abroad lists the local contacts.
