Colombian visa policy for British citizens

UK citizens do not need a traditional visa to visit Colombia for short stays, as Colombia offers visa-free entry for tourism and short business trips for up to 90 days.

However, all travelers must complete the Colombia Check-MIG Form online before boarding their flight, as it is a mandatory entry requirement.

iVisa offers one entry document for UK travelers:

Colombia Check-MIG Form: A mandatory digital pre-arrival registration that collects passport and travel information. UK citizens must submit it before traveling to Colombia and present confirmation if requested.

General Colombian entry requirements for UK travelers are:
A United Kingdom passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay
Completed Colombia Check-MIG Form
Confirmed onward or return travel ticket
Proof of accommodation and travel itinerary
