Entry

Reports citing the Indonesian embassy say Indonesian citizens can visit Colombia for tourism without a visa for up to 90 days (extendable), but confirm this with the Colombian foreign ministry or embassy before you book. Colombia also asks air travellers to fill in an online check-in form (Check-Mig) before the flight - the immigration authority explains who must do it. Bring a passport valid for 6 months, a return ticket, hotel details and proof of funds. A yellow fever vaccination is recommended for some regions and national parks - ask a doctor.

Culture and safety - take note

Colombians are warm, expressive and proud of their culture. Greet with a handshake, and a cheek kiss between friends. Safety has improved but needs care: do not show phones or jewellery, use ride-hailing apps or official taxis, never accept drinks from strangers (drink-spiking happens), and keep your passport copy and a card in different places. Some border and remote regions are not advised by governments - check Kemlu and other advisories before you go. Drug penalties are severe. Bogota is high (about 2,600 m) - rest on the first day. Tip about 10% where a service charge is not included. Halal food is limited.
