According to the Colombian government, 819,034 Venezuelans have arrived over the past 16 months — 376,572 have obtained regular status, while 442,462 are in the country without it. Between the total number of Venezuelan arrivals and the 250,000 Colombians who have returned from Venezuela, Colombia has taken in more than a million people over the past 16 months.
