What you need to know before leaving

The Colombian passport opens up a wide range of opportunities for international travel, providing its holders with a privileged status in many countries around the world. Below are the key features for travel:

• The EU and the Schengen area have a visa-free regime. A visa is not required, provided that the visit is short-term (up to 90 days). In 2025, Colombians must obtain an electronic authorization in advance through the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS).
• A visa must be obtained before entering the United States. However, since January 2025, the United States has suspended the issuance of visas to Colombians at the US Consular Section in Bogota due to a diplomatic conflict.
