Up until now I thought that if one wants to stay 180 days in a row in a year as a plain tourist you basically have 2 options:
- 60 days visa + (30 days extension x 4)
- 90 days visa + (30 days extension x 3)
(The extension is issued for a max of 30 days, right?)
MiXX, that'd be really cool...are you saying it's as simple as leaving on your 90th day, do the Venezuela weekend thing, come back and get a brand new 90 days visa ?
When was that? Does this still apply? Which Colombian city did you come back through?
Thank you!
(Amazing forum by the way!)
So long as you don't go pass 180 calendar days, you can leave Colombia to ANY country and come right back for another 60 days or 90 days depending on what the DAS agent feels like giving you the 2nd time around and how much he/she likes you in the 5 milliseconds they know you.
You can cross by plane to any neighboring country or by land to Venezuela via Cucuta.
Juts remember, 180 calendar days per year is ALL you get as a tourist.
If you have not been to Colombia the first 2 Quarters of 2011, then you can go and stay the rest of 2011 there, and hell, even stay in January some more as it is a NEW Year!
