I am a Colombian citizen married to a US citizen and have 2 US kids under18. Can my wife enter Colombia with just the PCR test alone? We are leaving the US for good looking for a new country. It looks like the only people who can enter Colombia are R VISA holders and Colombians. Does anyone have any advice?
