Visa note:

Any foreign nationals arriving on a visa with a validity of more than three months need to register with the Foreigners Registry of the Special Administrative Unit of Colombia Migration within 15 days of arrival.

Types and cost:

Enquire at the relevant consulate about the current visa fees.

Validity:

Visitor (tourist or temporary): multiple entries within six months; business: multiple entries within three or four years (depending on the type of business visa) with maximum stays of one year each.

Transit:

Transit passengers do not require a visa or to pay departure tax providing they do not leave the airport and make their connecting flight within 24 hours of arrival.

Application to:

Consulate (or consular section at embassy) or online (https://www.cancilleria.gov.co/tramites_servicios/visa).

Temporary residence:

Enquire at the consulate for forms and details on how to obtain temporary residence in Colombia.

Working days:

Visa processing usually takes five working days, or eight days if the application is referred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Sufficient funds:

You may be asked to provide proof of sufficient funds to cover your costs in Colombia. Up-to-date bank statements showing more than £1,000 will suffice. In practice, this is rarely requested.

Entry documents:

Apart from your passport, you are theoretically required to show an onward or return ticket. In practice, this is rarely required.

Extension of stay:

Extensions for up to a further 120 days are available from Migración Colombia. Visitors cannot stay for more than 180 days within a 12-month period.

Entry with children:

There are no restrictions on entry with children, but children of Colombian nationality must have the written consent of both parents to travel without them, even if travelling on another nation’s passport.

Entry restrictions:

Colombia has imposed travel restrictions on those with HIV/AIDS. Exemptions may be obtained; check with your country’s Colombian embassy. A yellow fever certificate may be necessary if you are planning to visit the jungle areas of Colombia.

Entry with pets:

You can take your pet to Colombia provided they have been vaccinated against rabies (unless coming from a rabies-free country or under four months old), distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis and parvovirus, and they have a licensed vet’s certificate. However, for the purpose of travelling it is best to leave pets at home.

Visa and passport information is updated regularly and is correct at the time of publishing. You should verify critical travel information independently with the relevant embassy before you travel.
