Do I Need a Visa for Cartagena, Colombia from India?
For Indian passport holders · Check the linked sources and entry conditions before travel
Visa Details
Indian passport holders can apply online for a Colombian visitor visa for tourism; the approved eVisa is issued electronically and permits entry. Approval is required before travel: the Colombian Consulate in New Delhi advises that processing can take 10–30 days, and additional documents or an interview may be requested. This is not a visa-on-arrival route. A qualifying US or Schengen visa with more than 180 days of validity on arrival can instead provide a visa exemption; US transit visas do not qualify. The amended visa-exemption resolution uses “at least 180 days”, while the New Delhi consulate says “more than 180 days”; confirm the exact threshold if your visa is near expiry.
