CURRENT SITUATION COLOMBIA, JULY 2021

Even though the pandemic is still not over yet, people are gradually returning to "normal life" and the desire to travel is picking up. This trend is also emerging in Colombia, and daily life as well as tourism in the country feel more "normal" every day.

To keep you and your clients in the loop about the current travel situation to and within Colombia, please find all up-to-date information in the following:

1. NATIONAL STRIKE

Although the national strike in Colombia is not yet completely over, the situation in the country has calmed down and there are only very few small demonstrations. 

We are confident that negotiations between the government and the strike committee to clarify the key points of the strike - such as violations of human rights, the non-fulfillment of promises by the government or the political structuring of the economic development model - will take place soon and, with the participation of mediators, come to a successful conclusion 

Travelling through the country is not affected by the strike.

2. CORONA

Entry requirements:

Since June 1st, 2021, no negative PCR test is required anymore upon entry, nor do travelers have to register with the CoronoApp. 

Only the online registration at Check-Mig, through the homepage of the Colombian migration office, remains mandatory!

Attention: Although the country of Colombia no longer requires a negative PCR test, various airlines still do! Please consult with your airline before travelling.

General information:
