Colombia Migration, via its X account, confirmed on January 10, 2026, that mobility at border crossings with Venezuela remains at usual levels. From January 1 to 10, an average of 47,275 entries and 46,106 exits were recorded daily, yielding a positive migration balance of 1,169 people. These movements largely consist of pendular flows, involving same-day crossings for work, commercial, academic, or family reasons, and comply with legal entry and exit requirements through authorized control posts.
By region, the highest volume was in the eastern part of the country, with 40,498 inflows and 39,641 outflows, resulting in a balance of 857 people. In La Guajira, there were 1,247 entries against 1,153 exits, while in the Orinoquía, 5,530 inflows and 5,313 outflows were counted over the same period.
Compared to 2025, when the daily average was 73,596 entries and 73,388 exits, current figures align with expected ranges for the year-end and start. The agency stressed that, despite the seasonal increase from December 2025 holidays into January 2026, there are no disruptions in migration trends or effects on official crossing operations. "International mobility maintains its usual trends, without relevant changes," officials from Colombia Migration assured.
This report underscores stability along the Colombia-Venezuela border, with no signs of irregularities in regular crossings.
