United States to Colombia visa requirements

No visa required. U.S. ordinary passport holders can visit Colombia for tourism or ordinary short business for up to 90 days, with a possible 90-day extension before expiry and a 180-day cumulative cap per calendar year. Complete Colombia's free Check-MIG form 1-72 hours before each flight to or from Colombia. United States ordinary passport holders are exempt from Colombia's Visitor (V) visa for short-stay activities that do not generate salary or service payments in Colombia. For tourism, family visits, transit, meetings, conferences and ordinary short business, Migracion Colombia may admit the traveler on arrival for up to 90 days. Before that 90-day stay expires, a traveler may request a 90-day extension from Migracion Colombia; U.S. State Department guidance confirms the same 180-day cumulative limit per calendar year. No Colombian visa fee or ETA is due for this visa-free route. The practical pre-travel requirement is Check-MIG, Colombia's free online immigration registration, which should be completed on the official Migracion Colombia portal between 72 hours and 1 hour before a flight to or from Colombia. Travelers must carry a U.S. passport valid at entry and throughout the stay, with at least one blank page unless enrolled in Migracion Automatica; the State Department recommends six months of validity. Colombia may deny entry without proof of return or onward travel. Carry accommodation details, funds evidence, and travel insurance. Yellow fever vaccination is not a blanket entry requirement for urban trips, but it can be required or requested for travelers coming from certain countries or visiting selected national parks, Amazon-Orinoco, jungle, tropical or hard-to-reach regions. The Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to Colombia.
