Do Germany passport holders need a visa to visit CO?

German ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa to visit Colombia for tourism. You may stay visa-free for up to 90 days per entry (extendable once for another 90 days, max 180 days per calendar year). You must complete the free online Check-Mig registration within 72 hours before departure and present the confirmation to your airline. Germany (ordinary passport) is on Colombia's visa-exemption list for short stays, so no visa or eVisa is required for tourism. On arrival, immigration grants a permanence permit (Permiso de Ingreso y Permanencia, "PIP") of up to 90 days, which can be extended once by another 90 days through Migracion Colombia for a fee, capped at 180 days within a calendar year. The only mandatory online step is the free Check-Mig form, which every air traveler must submit within 72 hours before boarding (and again within 72 hours before leaving Colombia); the confirmation is checked by the airline before departure. Passports should be in good condition and valid for the duration of stay; although Colombia's stated rule is validity for the intended stay, German authorities note travelers with under six months of validity have been refused entry, so six months is the safe standard. Travelers should also be ready to show proof of onward/return travel and sufficient funds. Both the German Federal Foreign Office and Colombia's official tourism portal confirm visa-free entry as of 2026, with no eVisa, ETA, or visa-on-arrival in effect for this nationality.
