Colombia cuts charges for consulate services

by Daniel E Freeman October 15, 2013

Colombia’s Foreign Ministry announced last week that charges for consulate services extended to Colombians abroad would be cut to reflect the fact that many are more pressed for money than they were before the economic crash.

“We are reducing the paperwork, for example, between 20 and 25% paperwork for Colombians abroad,” said Foreign Minister Maria Angela Holguin.

A Colombian passport in Europe used to cost 75 euros; it will now cost 56 euros.  In dollars, the cost shrank from $108 to $81.

The rates went into effect this past Friday across Colombian consulates worldwide.
