Poland to Colombia visa requirements

No visa is required. Polish ordinary passport holders enter Colombia visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days. You must complete the free online Check-Mig form before departure. Poland is an EU and Schengen member state, and Colombia grants visa-free tourist entry to ordinary passport holders of all EU countries (a reciprocal arrangement reflected in the EU-Colombia visa-waiver framework). On arrival, Polish travelers receive a tourist entry permit (Permiso de Ingreso y Permanencia / tourist stamp) for up to 90 days. This can be extended once for up to a further 90 days through a Permiso Temporal de Permanencia (PTP) applied for online with Migración Colombia, capped at a cumulative 180 days per calendar year. There is no visa and no visa fee. The only universal formality is the Check-Mig online form, which is mandatory and free, completed between 72 hours and 1 hour before each flight into or out of Colombia. Border officers may also ask for proof of onward/return travel and sufficient funds. The Schengen 90/180 short-stay rule and ETIAS apply to Colombians traveling to Europe (the reverse direction) and do not affect a Polish traveler going to Colombia, since Colombia is not in the Schengen area.
