Allows to Work in Colombia?

However, given the discretionary authority of officials at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Colombia, we cannot guarantee that this prohibition will not appear on the visa.

Yes, this visa allows beneficiaries according to the definition of Beneficiary Holder established in Article 3 of the present Resolution.
