Migración Colombia issued a final call to Venezuelan citizens to claim more than 150,000 Temporary Protection Permits (PPT) that have already been issued but remain pending collection, according to El Tiempo.[^1]

The permits were issued from 2021 under the Temporary Protection Statute for Venezuelan Migrants in Colombia, designed to regularize the migratory situation of Venezuelan citizens in the country.[^2] Caracol Radio also reported the unclaimed permits were issued since 2021 as part of the same statute.[^3]

Migración Colombia invited Venezuelan citizens to verify their document status using only official channels.[^4]
