I have dual Colombia/US citizenship. Travel to Colombia
I have dual Colombia/US citizenship. I need to do a short trip to Colombia in a week.I have both my US and Colombian passports, but I don't have a cedula.
I'm very worried that I'll have problems at immigration. I've emailed them and called the embassy and heard no response. Can anybody help me? Maybe I can take an additional document?
Best Answer
A passport is the universal travel document - unless a country doesn't recognise the country issuing the passport, it has to be accepted as a travel document.
Plus, Colombia cannot refuse entry to you as a Colombian citizen - even an expired passport would be accepted.
So this is what you need:
- At check-in for the flight to Colombia: Colombian passport
- At Colombian entry immigration: Colombian passport
- Check-in for flight to the US: US passport
- Colombian exit immigration: Colombian passport
- US immigration: US passport
