Colombia visa, And stay in Bogota

Country forums / South America / Ecuador & the Galapagos Islands

Hi

I fly into Bogota from Mexico on 17th Dec. I don't have onward ticket as I will be going overland through S. America. I am Scottish-holding British Passport- will there be any problem at immigration?

Also, can anyone recommend clean cheap hostel in Bogota?

Thanks,

Nobody I know has had a visa problem so you should be OK. I think they might ask how long you plan to stay in Colombia and t he reason for your visit but that is standard on most immigration forms I have filled out when entering a foreign country. Many people do as you want to do so as I said before you should be OK (just make sure you don't look like a poverty stricken traveller or drug dealer).

I would recommend the hostel owned by EE Travel. We stayed there in June and had a great time. Email me at gbeckler@comcast.net for more info.
