Stamping of U.S. passport

I understand U.S. citizens do not require a visa to enter Colombia. Is the passport stamped upon arrival?

Yes, it is stamped with time and date of entry, and with generally a 60 day limit. 30 day and 90 day limits do happen, the latter usually by request.

The only thing they asked me the first time I got mine stamped, was the address and names of people I would be staying with. Of course, I had no clue, so eventually, the guy thought about it a little and gave me the 60 day stamp.

If you do not get it stamped you could get into real trouble trying to get out of the country. It happened accidentally to my gringa wife.

Make sure it is stamped, none ever asked us for any personal info.

The Aduana form that you fill out asks for your address in Colombia and many other personal items.

Sure, but we have never been asked at the DAS desk.

I've always said that I'm on vacation and they gave me 60 day stamp even though I was only using a week or two at a time.

It reference to stamping passports. Always check to ensure that it was done correctly.

I was one detained in Caracas because the clerk had accidently stamped my passport in the exit column upon entry. When I was leaving the country it was a BIG deal. I was lead off at gun point and missed my flight.

Deathnovia, aren't you the guy who is forbidden by his employer to travel to Colombia?

By chance is this enquiry so you can go there clandestinely, without your employer knowing?
