Overview

Colombia is not visa-free for Indian passport holders in general, but there is a widely-used exemption: if you hold a valid US visa (any category except C1 transit) or a valid Schengen C or D visa with at least 180 days remaining, you can enter Colombia without a separate Colombian visa. Given how many Surat travellers already hold a US or Schengen visa from a prior trip, Explera checks this first — it can save you an entire application.

If you don’t qualify for the exemption, we file the online Colombia e-visa: passport, photos, funds proof and — mandatory for every Indian traveller regardless of age (except infants under 6 months) — an International Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate.

Who needs a Colombia visa?

Every Indian traveller to Colombia needs a e-visa (or visa-free with a valid us/schengen visa) obtained before departure. It is applied for entirely online and there is no embassy interview — Explera files it under the correct category and tracks it to approval.

During peak travel season portals can slow down; we file early and, where the destination offers it, can request express or priority processing at a higher fee.

Explera applies with time to spare and keeps you updated at every stage — you can always reach the visa desk on +91 70963 32299.

Why Colombia visas get refused — and how we prevent it

Most refusals come down to avoidable mistakes. Explera pre-screens every application against each of these before we file:

Incomplete, inconsistent or poorly-scanned documents

Insufficient or unexplained bank balance and unclear funding

Passport valid for less than 6 months or without blank pages

Mismatched traveller details between passport, photo and application

Unconfirmed or unrealistic itinerary, tickets or hotel bookings

Tips for a smooth Colombia visa

✓Keep your passport valid at least 6 months beyond your Colombia travel dates, with 2+ blank pages.
✓Have a clear return ticket and confirmed accommodation ready — they strengthen even simple applications.
✓Apply early: start your Colombia visa at least 10–14 days before departure to absorb any delay.
✓Bundle your visa with flights, hotels and insurance through Explera — a complete, consistent file approves faster.
