Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay in Colombia | Your Lithuanian passport needs to be valid for the full duration of your stay in Colombia. Airlines at departure check this before boarding — if your passport expires before you leave Colombia, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Check-Mig pre-registrationCheck-Mig: Colombia's mandatory online pre-registration form at migracioncolombia.gov.co. Complete it within 72 hours before your flight — it takes under 5 minutes. Mandatory online form within 72 hours of departure | Complete the free Check-Mig form at migracioncolombia.gov.co within 72 hours before your flight. Takes under 5 minutes — you enter passport details, flight info, and answer a few health questions. Have the confirmation screenshot ready on your phone when you go through immigration in Bogotá or Medellín.Open Check-Mig form | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Colombia | Immigration officers in Bogotá and Medellín routinely ask for a return or onward ticket showing you leave Colombia within 90 days. Airlines also check this at check-in in Europe — a flight reservation or refundable ticket works. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Have a hotel confirmation or an invitation letter from your host ready. Immigration rarely asks for it if you have a return ticket, but budget airlines flying into Colombia sometimes request it at check-in. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash, card, or bank statement | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you can support yourself during your stay. Colombia does not publish a minimum amount, but having the equivalent of $500–$1,000 USD available covers most scenarios if asked. | Recommended |
