Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |

| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Colombian passport needs to be valid only for the period you plan to stay in Kosovo. Airlines at Bogotá may enforce a 6-month validity rule — check with your carrier before departure. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Kosovo | Immigration at Pristina International Airport routinely asks for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Border officers may ask where you're staying. A hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number covers this. | Recommended |
