Can Colombians leave Colombia?

ColombiaBoard says on Dec 5, 2007, 10:35:

Colombian citizens can travel to all south american countries, Panama, Cuba, Japan without a visa, all they need is a valid passport.
There are direct non-stop flights to all south american countries (except Paraguay and the Guyanas) Cuba and Panama.

Sorry, it was not clear
my question is in regards to difficulty in obtaining a visa to some of these countries you do need a visa for. For example to Mexico. Is it an ordeal for a colombian citizen to obtain a visa? Is there high chance of denail? or is it easy and quick?

If you want to get a visa to any country in Central America and you don´t have the American visa, it´s most likely you will not get it. Colombians don´t need a visa for Cuba and the only country that I know Colombians don´t need a visa and Americans do is Brazil.

Going to Cuba for Americans is pretty simple. Daily flights from a number of places- Dominican Republic, Turks&Caicos, Jamaica, etc.

The Cuban immigration officials won't stamp your passport if you request them not to. They give you a separate paper for ID purposes. A Cuban entry stamp in an American passport will get you a raft of crap when you re-enter the USA- and the Cubans know this, and are accomodating of it.

SL guy- used to be a lot easier but a few years back, Bush was said to have made a deal with various carribbean countries, Canada, Mexico ect to start examining the Passenger manifests Lists of their Airlines which list all countries of Origen of the passengers who fly to Cuba on their Airlines.

ixent, unless you have new data, that list is incomplete. For example, at least a year ago, a Colombian National didn't need a visa to visit Japan. Cuba requires no visa. Where is Venezuela? And I could go on.

It's very difficult for a Colombian to get a Mexican tourist visa. Once they have that green card, they can just go on in like a gringo.

Hey, just a side question about Colombians travelin to and from Colombia... for some of the veterans who already live with or have lived with a colombian in the states:

When a colombian comes to the USA on a fiance visa.... and marries within the 90 alotted days.... IS THERE a time period within which she/he cannot return to Colombia? Seems I've read something to that affect here, before.... but need to know. And, if not too much trouble.... why is this?

Robert Jorge says on Dec 5, 2007, 21:28:

Yes there is GS. Basically, once your fiance steps foot on US soil, she is absolutely free to leave - she just can't get back in without another visa. The K1 is for 1 entry only into the US. But, to answer your question, once you get married, and you submit the papers for the adjustment of status, you must wait until your wife gets her conditional Permanent Residency Card (green card) before she can travel outside of the US with the capability of returning. Before receiving the perm. res. card, it is possible for her to travel. But it is another application, it costs several hundred dollars, and is meant for emergencies. Basically it is like buying a waiver or pass.

With a K-3 on the other hand, she can come and go as she pleases even while her AOS is pending.

I have a dozen Cuba stamps in my passport. Luckily, I never had a problem coming back to the U.S.. When I used to land in Cuba, they would hold the stamper over my passport waiting for a $5 bribe. When I did'nt give them the bribe, they would stamp it. I have to re-new my passport next year and then i'll be as clean as a whistle.

Elmo your question may be in jest but in our case my wife finds herself having to make adjustment for her return to Colombia. She loves her Country but certainly gets frustrated by some of the bureaucratic way of doing everything.

You know. Stand in line, get the form then move to another line on another day to complete the transaction. She has become jaded by being able to do everything over the PC.
