What you need to know
To send installers from Spain to perform any type of work activity, it is necessary to process a V type work visa, a visit visa, which means that they do not intend to establish themselves. If they wanted to establish themselves, their visa would be different.
This visa allows the holder to carry out, among other activities: airport transit, tourism, business management, academic exchange and studies in arts or crafts and postgraduate studies, medical treatment, administrative and/or judicial procedures, crew member of a vessel or coastal platform, participation in events, internships or practices, volunteering, audiovisual and/or digital production, news coverage, temporary service provider, transfer of intra-corporate personnel within the framework of current international instruments, official or commercial representative of a foreign government.

Processing time
The standard processing time is reduced, as it is a partially electronic personal process. The visa application form is submitted online. But it will be necessary to attend the Colombian consulate in person to submit the passport and print the visa, so a period of one week is estimated from the preparation of the documents.
