Entry requirements for Colombia
| Rule | Detail | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Passport validity | valid for stay — Migración Colombia requires a 'pasaporte válido y vigente' (valid and current passport); no minimum months stated. If the passport expires sooner than the entry permit would run, the permit is granted only up to the document's validity (Res. 3167/2019 art. 14 par. 2). | Migración Colombia — Requisitos de entrada y salida del país · retrieved 2026-08-07 |
| Onward ticket | Often checked — Official entry requirements list an exit/onward ticket ('tiquete de viaje de salida') and proof of funds accompanying the travel document 'as applicable'; Res. 3167/2019 art. 8 provides for random verification of supporting documents including the return ticket. Airlines commonly enforce it. | Migración Colombia — Requisitos de entrada y salida del país · retrieved 2026-08-07 |
| Yellow fever | Certificate required only when arriving from risk countries — >12h airport transit in a risk country also triggers the requirement. Colombia's own list of countries to which the requirement applies differs from the WHO risk list (WHO Annex 1 footnote 7); details are in the WHO ITH Country List 2022. | WHO International Travel and Health · retrieved 2026-08-07 |
| Exemption | Holders of Visa-required nationals holding permanent residence in a Pacific Alliance member state (Chile, Peru, Mexico): visa free — Short-stay entry for non-remunerated activities without a Colombian visa; Mexico residents may present the Mexican visa or permanent resident card with a valid passport; restricted nationalities must present the permanent cédula de extranjería of the Pacific Alliance country | Migración Colombia — Requisitos de entrada y salida del país · retrieved 2026-08-07 |
| Exemption | Holders of Nationals of states listed in Resolución 5488/2022 §C (conditioned visa exemption, e.g. India, Myanmar, Taiwan and others; Taiwan added per Res. 3717/2023): visa free — Must hold a valid residence permit in a Schengen member state or the USA, or a Schengen or US visa with at least 180 days' validity remaining at the moment of entry; short-stay non-remunerated activities only | Cancillería de Colombia — Resolución 5488 de 2022 (normograma) · retrieved 2026-08-07 |
