Which are the countries that have restrictions for the entry of Colombians?
Argentina, Chile, Spain, Germany, France, Canada and the Netherlands maintain entry restrictions for Colombians. For this reason, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs indicated that an equivalent temporary measure is being contemplated (which has not yet been implemented) framed in the international principle of reciprocity. In other words, the citizens of those countries could not enter the national territory either.
“Colombia hopes that with these countries progress will be made in the short term towards the opening of flights and the circulation of citizens, without restrictions, to favor mobility in all fields,” said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
