On April 23, a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Colombia answered questions about Colombia’s visa situation with China. Q: Recently, Colombian Foreign Minister Saravia announced that Colombia will initiate a process to exempt Chinese and other citizens from visa requirements. May I ask if Chinese citizens holding ordinary passports and official ordinary passports are currently eligible for visa free entry into Colombia? A: The difficulty for Chinese citizens to obtain visas to Colombia is a long-standing problem that has long hindered the exchanges between the two peoples. With the continuous promotion work of our library, the attitude of the senior management of Colombia has recently undergone an important positive change, which is an important step towards solving this problem. Although the government has announced the launch of relevant procedures, the specific implementation plan has not yet been clarified. Our museum will continue to follow up and strive to do this good thing as soon as possible. At present, Chinese citizens holding ordinary passports and official ordinary passports cannot obtain visas when traveling to Colombia. They still need to obtain a Colombia visa or hold other documents designated by the Colombia side. Our embassy kindly reminds Chinese citizens who plan to come to Colombia to carefully understand the country’s entry policies, especially to pay attention to our embassy’s subsequent news releases. Do not believe in false hype on social media and blindly follow the trend to come to Colombia before obtaining a visa.
