## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Colombia: other ordinary passports require an electronic Visitor visa** (eVisa)
  Ordinary-passport nationalities outside the current unconditional and conditional short-stay exemptions must obtain Colombia's electronic Visitor visa before travel.
  - A separate visa-free exception may apply to a qualifying permanent resident of a Pacific Alliance or Andean Community state, or under a current bilateral agreement; nationality alone does not establish those status-based routes.
  - The Foreign Ministry conducts study, processing and issuance virtually and sends the approved electronic visa to the registered email address; it may require original documents, an interview or, when it considers necessary, a printed passport label.
  - Short stays cover qualifying non-remunerated activities such as tourism, leisure, business, events or cultural interest; paid services, salary or wages in Colombia require a visa with the appropriate permission.
  - The normal short-stay period is less than 90 days and may be extendable up to 180 days when the applicable rules permit it.
  - Admission remains discretionary and subject to a valid travel document, onward travel, funds, purpose, immigration control and any health, security or individual-admissibility requirements.
  - Does not classify transit, work, study, residence, diplomatic, official, service, refugee, stateless, emergency, laissez-passer, national-identity-card or other special-document routes.

## How to apply

The Foreign Ministry allows up to 30 calendar days for a decision after a complete application and study-fee payment; external consultations can take longer.

1. Confirm that the planned activity requires a Visitor visa and choose the Colombian consular office responsible for the applicant's place of legal residence.
2. Complete the official online form, upload the required passport page, photograph and supporting documents, and pay the study fee.
3. Respond to any request through SITAC and, if approved, pay the issuance fee within the stated deadline.
4. Receive the electronic visa at the registered email address and travel with the same passport; a visa permits travel to request entry but does not guarantee admission.
