Colombia — visa waiver for Israelis restored, 90 days

eVisa required Visa-free · up to 90 days

The other half has now landed. Colombia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs formalised the reciprocal waiver in Resolution 12189 of 2026, announced on 11 September 2026: holders of ordinary passports travelling as tourists enter without a visa for up to 90 days within any 12-month period. Tourism only — it is not permission to work, study or do anything else that needs its own migratory permit. We carried this as merely announced while only Israel's side was documented; the Colombian act is the piece that was missing. Note that the resolution's own text is not published in machine-readable form on cancilleria.gov.co, so the 90-day figure comes from the Ministry's announcement as reported by Colombia's national press rather than from the decree itself. Separately, Colombia admits visa-required nationals who hold a valid Schengen or US visa or residence permit.
