No. The extension must be requested before the expiration date of your current tourist stamp. If the request is made after expiration, Migración Colombia will not process it, and you will be in irregular status. This may lead to daily fines and affect future entries. It is strongly recommended to apply at least 10 to 15 calendar days in advance.

You can request a tourism extension once a year.

Minors must make their applications individually. Also, keep in mind that in addition to the passport, the photo of the stamp and the tickets, the minor’s birth certificate, and the passport image of the person in charge are required.

Yes, proof of a ticket out of Colombia is mandatory. To request a tourism extension, you must upload a single PDF that includes:

• A clear image of the main page of your passport

• A photo of the most recent entry stamp, showing all four corners of the passport page

• A copy of your outbound ticket, which must be valid and dated before the extended stay expires

If you decide to leave the country, you do not need to apply for a tourism extension. When you re-enter, Migración will stamp your passport with the new number of days you are allowed to stay.

The exit ticket from Colombia is a mandatory requirement to request the tourist stamp extension.

The amount depends on the nationality:

• Ecuadorians: No cost.
• Nationals of the Schengen area: No cost.
• For other cases: 125,000 Colombian pesos.

There is no need to get a new stamp on your passport, as the PDF you receive in your email is valid to show your tourism extension.

You can check the status of your application using the following link. After completing the form, you will need the application number and password sent to your email.

Since this application can be approved or rejected, you’ll have to wait 3 to 5 business days while Migración Colombia evaluates your application. If pre-approved, you will receive a link to pay for the process; the cost is 125,000 Colombian pesos.

Yes, but your tourism extension will lose validity when you leave the country. Therefore, once you re-enter the country, your new passport stamp will note the days you can be here.

No, although you are entitled to 180 days per year, at the time of entry, you are given a maximum of 90 days on your stamp. If you wish to use your 90 extra days, you must leave the country and re-enter or request a tourism extension before Migración Colombia.
