Visiting Colombia: Irish citizen → Colombia
✅
No visa needed — short visit
Ireland passport holders can visit Colombia visa-free for short-stay activities — under 90 days, extendable up to 180 — per the Colombian MFA's official exemption list. Migración Colombia grants the entry permit at the border.
The bottom line
- The exemption covers tourism and other short-stay activities that generate no payments, salary or wages in Colombia — any paid activity requires a visa regardless of nationality.
- At entry, carry your passport, an outbound travel ticket and proof of financial solvency — migration officers may ask for them.
- Stays can be extended, but never beyond 180 days in a 365-day period — track your days if you visit often.
