Colombia has four consular jurisdictions in China. The office responsible for you is not always the closest one: coverage is assigned by province or territory. Confirm where you live first, then use the page for that office.
Choose by jurisdiction
- Beijing: Beijing, Chongqing, Gansu, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Henan, Hunan, Hubei, Jilin, Liaoning, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Qinghai, Tianjin, Shaanxi, Shandong, Shanxi, Sichuan, Tibet-Xizang and Xinjiang. The consular section operates within Colombia’s Embassy.
- Guangzhou: Guangdong, Guizhou, Yunnan, Hainan and Guangxi.
- Shanghai: Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian and Jiangxi. The official site announced a relocation and says a new office takes effect on 9 November 2026, but the contact page we reviewed still lists the previous address. Confirm the current address on the official site before visiting.
- Hong Kong: the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Macao Special Administrative Region and Taiwan. The office notes that these territories have distinct immigration regimes; confirm the channel for your case.
Read the profiles for the Consular Section in Beijing, the Consulate-General in Guangzhou, the Consulate-General in Shanghai and the Consulate-General in Hong Kong. The Shanghai profile explains the announced move and why visitors should confirm the current address before travelling.
What to prepare
The offices provide Colombian identity documents, passports, civil registration, notarial acts and assistance to Colombian nationals. The specific procedure determines the documents, fees and whether an appointment is mandatory; do not travel on the strength of a general service list alone.
- Beijing: the official page requires appointments for signature recognition, birth, marriage and death registrations, identity cards, passports, public deeds and nationality matters. The office allows collection of passports, identity documents or visa stamps already confirmed by email without an appointment, during public hours.
- Guangzhou: listed services include passports, civil records, national ID cards, identity cards, minors’ travel authorisations, document authentication, public deeds and certificates. An appointment is required for certain combined procedures: birth registration with a passport; an identity card with a passport; a first national ID card with a passport; and a public deed with its copy. The page says other procedures are handled on a walk-in basis during published public hours.
- Shanghai: published services include passports, Colombian visas, consular registration, apostilles and appointment-based in-person assistance. The hours page asks applicants to contact the office with their full name and Colombian ID number to book and obtain requirements and fees. Because a relocation was announced for November 2026, confirm reopening and the current office location before travelling.
- Hong Kong: the office publishes consular services for Colombians and Colombian visa applications for foreign nationals residing within its jurisdiction. Visa applications are submitted through Colombia’s electronic platform; the rules depend on nationality and residence status. An official notice from January 2026 distinguishes short-stay visa exemption for Hong Kong passport holders from the visa requirement for Taiwan passport holders.
Plan the visit
- Check jurisdiction before booking: Guangzhou does not serve all of mainland China, and Hong Kong does not replace the office assigned to a province.
- Open the official procedure page and check whether it starts online, by email or in person. An appointment for one service does not automatically book other procedures.
- Confirm requirements, originals, copies, payment and delivery method. Do not treat fees in old documents as current prices.
- If the procedure requires an appointment, wait for confirmation before travelling. Use an emergency number only for a genuine humanitarian emergency, not routine enquiries.
- For Shanghai, confirm the new address: the official notice places the move on 9 November 2026, but the contact page we retrieved still lists the previous office.
This guide does not replace official procedure instructions. The linked profiles provide direct channels; local conditions, public holidays and appointment availability may change.
