Most international visitors — citizens of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, EU/Schengen countries, Japan, South Korea and most Latin American nations — enter Colombia visa-free for trade-fair business, meetings and tourism for stays of up to 90 days, and only need to complete the free Check-Mig online form within 72 hours before arrival. Nationals outside the exemption list must apply for a Visa de Visitante (V) through Colombia's Cancillería online portal, which normally takes 10–20 business days, so apply at least six weeks before the 15 October 2026 opening. Carry a passport valid for at least six months, proof of onward or return travel, and your Corferias hotel confirmation. Exhibitors shipping roasting or packaging machinery, green-coffee samples or stand-build equipment clear it under DIAN temporary importation (importación temporal) arranged with a Colombian customs broker; Colombia is not an ATA Carnet territory, so plan bonded entry and re-export paperwork with the freight forwarder.
Estimated cost: Varies by visa type and nationality (check official site).
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Stay up to 90 days; passport valid at least six months; carry hotel address at Corferias, return ticket and proof of funds for immigration.
