Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) to Colombia visa requirements

Yes. As of 30 January 2026, Taiwan ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter Colombia for tourism. The previous visa-free entry was withdrawn. The only exception: if you already hold a valid US visa or a Schengen visa with at least 180 days of validity remaining on arrival, you may enter without a Colombian visa for a short stay. Until early 2026, Taiwan (ROC) ordinary passport holders could enter Colombia visa-free for up to 90 days. That changed on 30 January 2026, when Colombia's Foreign Ministry operationalized a rule (rooted in a 2023 resolution) requiring Taiwanese travelers to obtain a Colombian visa before arrival. The single carve-out is for travelers who already possess a valid United States visa, or a Schengen visa, with at least 180 days of validity remaining at the moment of entry into Colombia; such travelers may enter for a short tourist stay without applying for a separate Colombian visa. Travelers without US/Schengen documentation must apply online for a Type V (Visitor) visa through the official Cancilleria portal (visas.cancilleria.gov.co) before travel. Note that this is distinct from the policy for Hong Kong SAR passport holders, who were granted a 90-day visa exemption on the same date. Because the verdict for a plain Taiwan passport (without a qualifying US/Schengen visa) is now visa-required, conservative travelers should plan to apply in advance or confirm their US/Schengen visa qualifies before booking. Always re-confirm with the Colombian consular authority or the Taipei Commercial Office in Bogota close to your travel date, as airline systems and consular guidance were still adjusting after the January 2026 rollout.
