Colombia Entry Requirements for Tourists

Planning a trip to Colombia? Here's a general overview of what tourists usually need to enter. Always confirm the current rules with an official source or the Colombian consulate before you travel, as requirements can change.

Passport

• A valid passport (many airlines ask for at least 6 months' validity).
• Keep a digital and paper copy separate from the original.

Visa

• Citizens of many countries (including the US, Canada, the UK, the EU, Australia and much of Latin America) can enter Colombia visa-free as tourists, typically for up to 90 days, extendable.
• Rules vary by nationality — check your country's requirements before booking.

The Check-Mig form
