Do UAE passport holders need a visa to visit CO?

UAE ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa to visit Colombia. You receive a free entry permit (PIP) for up to 90 days on arrival for tourism, extendable up to a total of 180 days within the same calendar year. Citizens of the United Arab Emirates holding an ordinary passport are visa-exempt for short tourist visits to Colombia. On arrival, an immigration officer at the port of entry grants a Permiso de Ingreso y Permanencia (PIP) of up to 90 days. This can be extended once through Migración Colombia for an additional period, but total stay as a tourist may not exceed 180 days within a single calendar year. No visa, eVisa or visa-on-arrival fee applies for this short stay. Travelers should carry a passport valid for the duration of stay, proof of onward or return travel, and evidence of sufficient funds. Colombia is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. The Check-Mig online form (free, completed within 72 hours before flying) is requested by most airlines before boarding flights to and from Colombia; although enforcement has been inconsistent since early 2025, completing it is strongly recommended to avoid boarding problems.
