Six month tourist visa

Post new topic

afortunado

Hello all,

During the last six years i have been visiting my girlfriend on a 90 day tourist visa once every calendar year. I am a UK citizen and I have heard that the 90 day tourist visa can be extended up to 180 days, Can anyone tell me please how I can obtain this.
Thank you

Yes, you heard correctly - you can with an extension stay up to 180 days.  See these links:

The tourist permits are not actually visas.

Colombia is technically visa-free for turistas from North America, the U.K. and most other countries .. for a total of up to 180 days out of 365.

Dozens of cities in Colombia have offices of the Inmigración department, which supervises the 90-day extension process in those cities, at the national borders (some folks do a  double border-hop to Ecuador and back) and online.

All I can say is "una relación de lejos es feliz para cuatro"

And in your case with your "GF" there is nothing anyone could say that would be more applicable.

Hope you havent been  sending her "giros"..

Likely but not necessarily so........But then again I wouldnt bet against you, haha.......Hey, has anyone heard again from the guy whose friend says he goes out and comes right back in a few daze and never has a problem? It seems he dropped off the forum......or maybe that was expatexchange.com.........
