Entry conditions

  • Antigua and Barbuda citizens are permitted visa-free entry to Colombia for tourism and short business purposes.
  • Maximum stay allowed is 90 days within a 180-day period.
  • Travelers must possess a valid passport with at least six months of validity beyond the intended stay.
  • Proof of onward or return travel is required.
  • Sufficient financial means to support the stay must be demonstrated upon request.
  • No specific health insurance is mandated for entry, but travel insurance is highly recommended.
  • Extensions beyond the initial 90 days may be possible by applying at Migración Colombia offices within the country, subject to approval and additional fees.

Visa types

  • For stays exceeding 90 days, or for purposes other than tourism/short business (e.g., long-term study, work, residency), a specific visa will be required.
  • The primary visa for long-term purposes is the "Visa de Migrante" or "Visa de Residente."
  • For other specific long-term purposes, categories like "Visa de Trabajo" (Work Visa) or "Visa de Estudiante" (Student Visa) exist.
  • These visas are typically valid for one year and allow multiple entries, with an initial maximum stay of up to two years for migrant visas.
  • Fees and processing times for these long-term visas vary significantly and require direct application through Colombian consulates abroad or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs online portal.

How to apply

  • As visa-free entry is permitted for up to 90 days, no prior application is generally needed for short stays.
  • Upon arrival, immigration officers at the port of entry will stamp the passport with the authorized duration of stay, up to 90 days.
  • Travelers should be prepared to present their passport, proof of onward/return travel, and potentially evidence of financial sufficiency.
  • For long-term stays or specific purposes requiring a visa, applicants must consult the official Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website (https://www.cancilleria.gov.co/) for specific requirements and application procedures, which typically involve applying at a Colombian embassy or consulate in their country of residence or a neighboring country.

Fees & processing time

  • For visa-free entry up to 90 days, there are no visa fees.
  • Fees and processing times apply only if a specific visa is required for stays beyond 90 days or for other purposes. These are not applicable to standard tourism or short business stays for Antigua and Barbuda citizens.

Tips for Antigua and Barbuda travelers

  • Plan your trip well in advance, especially if your stay might approach the 90-day limit, to understand extension possibilities if needed.
  • While visa-free entry is generally smooth, ensure all travel documents are in order to avoid any potential delays or issues at immigration.
  • Common reasons for refusal or limited stay at immigration for any traveler include lack of clear return tickets, insufficient funds, or ambiguous travel purposes.
  • Always carry copies of important documents (passport, return ticket) separately from the originals.
  • For long-term visa applications, consult the "Portal de Visas" on the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website (https://www.cancilleria.gov.co/) for the most up-to-date information on visa categories, requirements, fees (typically ranging from USD 50 to USD 250 depending on visa type), and processing times (which can be several weeks to months).
