Colombia

Colombia Visitor Visa (Type V)

The Visitor Visa (Type V) is the temporary, non-permanent category under Colombia’s visa system (Resolution 5477 of 2022). It covers a wide range of short-term purposes — from tourism, business and events to medical treatment, temporary work assignments, digital or audiovisual production, journalism and internships. Whether you need a Type V visa or can enter visa-free depends on your nationality and the purpose of your trip, so always confirm with the official Cancillería requirements first.

  • People coming to Colombia for medical treatment
  • Temporary service providers, interns and journalists
