Colombia Now Mandates That All Visitors Must Be Vaccinated Against COVID
Colombia’s Ministry of Health has announced via resolution 2052 that effective December 14, non-resident foreign travelers over the age of 18 must present proof they have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19 for at least 14 days prior to travel. If less than 14 days have elapsed or if the vaccination scheme is not complete, the traveler must present a PCR test with a negative result taken within 72 hours of boarding. Unvaccinated non-resident foreign travelers will not be allowed to enter Colombia.
Proof of vaccination must be presented either on paper or digitally, and must include the individual’s full name, date of vaccination, name of the vaccine administered, and the number of doses administered. Only vaccines authorized by the World Health Organization will be recognized by Colombia under this resolution.
For Colombian citizens, foreign residents of Colombia holding a cédula and/or resident visa, and diplomats and their dependents 18 years and older, vaccinated travelers must present proof they have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19 for at least 14 days prior to travel. If less than 14 days have elapsed or if the vaccination scheme is not complete, the traveler must present a PCR test with a negative result taken within 72 hours of boarding.
All international travelers are still required to complete the online Check-Mig form between 72 hours and 1 hour prior to arrival in, or departure from, Colombia. Travelers must present a print-out of the form or be ready to show the electronic version on a mobile device to the transporting airline before receiving a boarding pass, and possibly again at Colombian immigration.
