Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit CO?
Brazilian ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa to visit Colombia for tourism. On arrival you receive a Permiso de Ingreso y Permanencia (PIP) for up to 90 days, extendable to a maximum of 180 days per calendar year. The free online Check-Mig form must be completed within 72 hours before travel. Brazil is on Colombia's short-stay visa exemption list (90+ exempt countries), so a Brazilian ordinary passport holder may enter for tourism with no visa. Migración Colombia officers grant a Permiso de Ingreso y Permanencia (PIP/PT) of up to 90 days at the discretion of the officer; this can be extended once for the remainder of the year, capped at 180 cumulative days within any 365-day (calendar-year) period. The only universal pre-travel formality is the Check-Mig online form (free, mandatory, completed up to 72 hours before arrival), which airlines verify before boarding. The passport must be valid for the duration of stay; no minimum 6-month rule is imposed but airlines often expect comfortable validity. Colombia is NOT in the Schengen area, so the 90/180 Schengen rule and ETIAS do not apply. Onward/return ticket and proof of sufficient funds may be requested. Travel insurance is recommended but not mandatory. Yellow fever vaccination is recommended/required for travel to certain regions (Amazon, some national parks) and may be checked. Visitors to the islands of San Andrés and Providencia must buy a separate Tourist Card regardless of nationality. As of 2026-05-30 this verdict is confirmed visa-free.
