Visas
Nationals from Estonia, Bulgaria, Latvia, Slovenia and Poland require a visa; however, those from Australia, UK, USA and most EU countries do not. Check with your embassy for the latest news on whether you require a visa.
Visa Note
On arrival, nationals are granted an entry stamp valid for up to 90 days, which is an advantage as, generally, tourists are only granted entry for a period of 30 or 60 days. If you'd like an extension for another 120 days, you can contact the Department of Administration and Security in Colombia. Note that in any 12-month period, all nationals are allowed to stay in the country for a maximum of 180 days.
Types of Visa and Cost
Contact the embassy or consulate of Colombia for the cost of your visa. The price is determined in accordance with the exchange rate.
Validity
Tourist and Temporary Visitor: This multiple entry visa has a six-month validity.
Business: You can get a multiple entry business visa that's valid for four years. Each stay is a maximum of six months.
Student: This visa has a five-month validity, with multiple entries.
Working Days Required
You'll have to allow for holidays when applying for your visa. Tourist and Business visas require five working days for processing while a Temporary Visitor visa requires one week. But it's better to allow as much time as possible for visa applications.
