Overview
About the Colombia visa for Indians
Indian citizens generally need a visitor visa to travel to Colombia. The visa is applied for online through the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs portal and issued electronically, so no passport submission is usually needed. Indian passport holders who hold a valid US or Schengen visa may be exempt from the Colombian visa, provided that visa meets current validity conditions. Visitors can typically stay up to 90 days, and all travellers must complete the online Check-MIG migration form before their flight.
Audvik checks which route applies to you and handles the paperwork. For visa applicants, we prepare the online application, scan and format your documents, write a covering letter and follow up on any requests from the ministry. For exempt travellers, we verify your existing visa and help with Check-MIG. We can also book flights, hotels in Bogota and Cartagena, travel insurance and Colombia tour packages.

Colombia visa FAQs
Do Indians need a visa for Colombia?
Usually yes. Indian citizens need a visitor visa, applied for online. However, Indians holding a valid US or Schengen visa may be exempt, as long as that visa meets Colombia's current validity requirements. We check your eligibility before you apply or book tickets.
How long does the Colombia e-Visa take?
Colombian visitor visas are typically decided within one to four weeks, depending on workload and whether extra documents are requested. The ministry can take longer in some cases, so we recommend applying at least five to six weeks before your planned travel.
What is the Check-MIG form for Colombia?
Check-MIG is Colombia's online migration pre-registration form that all international travellers must complete before arriving or departing. It is usually submitted within a few days to an hour before the flight. Keep the confirmation email with your travel documents.
Is travel insurance mandatory for Colombia?
Travel insurance is not always checked at the border, but it is strongly recommended. A good policy covering medical care, trip delays and theft is valuable, particularly if you plan trekking, high-altitude visits to Bogota or trips to the Amazon region.
Can Audvik book my flights and hotels for Colombia?
Yes. Audvik can handle your Colombia visa or exemption check, then arrange flights, hotels, domestic connections, travel insurance and tours to Cartagena, Medellin and the coffee region. We can also combine Colombia with other South American countries on one itinerary.
