How To Extend A Colombian Tourist VISA Colombia 2019

Colombian Tourist Visa – Enter Colombia

So we start with how to get into Colombia in the first place, people from North America and Europe they can get into Colombia without a visa.

Little Note:

It’s common to talk about the “Tourist Visa” even though technically it’s not a visa. It’s just a stamp. Tourist visas are given for people from let’s say from India and Egypt. So you just get here, they stamp your passport with a 90 days visa and that’s it.

Sometimes I’ve read or heard people say that they have just received a 30-day or a 60-day stamp, but usually it should be 90 days.

Make sure when you are in the airport or wherever you coming into Colombia that they give you a 90 days stamp. There will be a little section on the stamp which shows how many days your stamp is valid.

Extend The Colombian Tourist Visa

You can extend the Colombian tourist visa (stamp) inside of the country, so you go to the immigration office in the city you are or extend it online.

I had to do it in person because the online application form didn’t work for me, I don’t know why it just didn’t work for me. So I had to go there in person. Since then I heard from many people that sometimes the online Colombian visa extension works, sometimes it does not.

You just go there with an appointment, just give them your passport and some other documentation and they will just extend the Colombian tourist visa (stamp) for another 90 days. So it’s possible to stay in Colombia for 180 days out of one year without a Colombian visa.
