Colombia's Temporary Protection Status (Estatuto Temporal de Protección para Migrantes Venezolanos, or ETPV),

In February 2021, the Colombian government launched the Temporary Protection Status (Estatuto Temporal de Protección para Migrantes Venezolanos, or ETPV), a legal mechanism which facilitates the transition of migrants from an emergency migratory regime to a regularization status, granting access to formal employment, education, healthcare, and financial services for almost two million Venezuelan migrants and refugees. 

 The program provides a ten-year permit of stay, during which migrants have the opportunity to obtain a resident visa that would allow them to remain in the country beyond the initial period.

The ETPV aims to foster the inclusion of Venezuelan migrants into Colombian society while discouraging unsafe methods of entry into the country. The permit grants Venezuelan migrants eligibility for national subsidies and services under the same conditions as Colombians, ensuring equal opportunities for medium- and long-term integration. Moreover, it incorporates safeguards to protect Venezuelan children and adolescents free entry and exit from the country (with a maximum of 180 days spent outside Colombia), and it facilitates the resident visa process.

Eligibility includes Venezuelans who crossed the border prior to January 31, 2021, regardless of their immigration status, and those who enter Colombia legally in the next two years—up until May 28, 2023.
