Visa requirements for Colombian citizens

A Colombian passport

Visa requirements for Colombian citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of Colombia. In 2016, Colombian citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 103 countries and territories, ranking the Colombian passport 50th in the world according to the Visa Restrictions Index.^[1]

Citizens of Colombia do not need a passport when traveling to Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. For these countries, they may use just their domestic identification cards called Cédula de Identidad.^[2][3]

The Schengen Area introduced visa free access for Colombian citizens for 90 days, since 3 December 2015.^[4]
