Visa Overview

Sticker Visa

  • The Colombia sticker visa is a visa issued by the Embassy of Colombia for Indian travellers visiting Colombia for tourism, business meetings, family visits, or other short-term purposes. Depending on the purpose of travel and applicant profile, the visa may be issued as a single-entry or multiple-entry sticker visa with a specified validity and permitted duration of stay.
  • Applicants are generally required to complete the visa application process, submit supporting documents, and provide proof of travel purpose, accommodation, financial capacity, and return arrangements. In some cases, the embassy may request additional documents or conduct an interview before making a decision.
  • To support the application, travellers should provide a valid passport, photographs, flight reservations, hotel bookings or invitation letter, bank statements, income proof, employment/business documents, and a detailed cover letter explaining the purpose and duration of travel. Applicants must also demonstrate strong ties to India such as employment, business ownership, family responsibilities, or property ownership.
  • Travel insurance is strongly recommended for the entire duration of stay. Once approved, the visa is affixed as a sticker in the passport mentioning the validity period, number of entries, and allowed duration of stay, which must be followed strictly.
  • Processing time may vary depending on embassy review and documentation requirements, therefore applicants are advised to apply well in advance of their travel date. Visa approval is entirely at the discretion of the Embassy of Colombia, and final entry permission is determined by immigration authorities at the port of entry.
