⚠️ Key Rule
Colombia has a very relaxed visa policy. 90-day entries are standard, extendable by 90 more.
ვიზა ≠ შესვლა. ვიზა მხოლოდ ბორტზე ასვლისა და განაცხადის უფლებას იძლევა — საზღვრის თანამშრომელი წყვეტს, ვინ შემოვიდეს, და მოითხოვს გასვლის დამადასტურებელ საბუთს. FlightProof-ის გასვლის ბილეთი სწორედ ეს საბუთია: მსოფლიოში ერთ-ერთი ყველაზე იაფი გასვლის დადასტურება — ყველაზე დაბალი ფასი თქვენი მარშრუტისთვის. გაიცემა ერთ წუთზე ნაკლებ დროში. გაიარეთ საზღვარი და ისიამოვნეთ ვიზით.

Why airlines refuse boarding without an onward ticket
Flying to a high-risk country? The airline — not immigration — checks you before boarding, and it will not board you even when you never show a "when is your return flight" ticket at the border. The reservation out is exactly what we confirm: any route out, on the date you choose — that's it. Immigration passed: how long you stay depends on the entry stamp you receive.
Officer: “When is your return flight?”
You: “In two weeks — here is the booking.”
Stamp. Entry granted. That was the only question, and you had the answer ready.
Win-win: you buy a ticket out just to come in, you never fly it, and there is nothing to cancel afterwards — no fare held, no refund to chase. The officer gets a straight answer; you keep your plans.

Why You Need an Onward Ticket for Colombia
Colombia has strict enforcement of onward travel requirements. Immigration at major airports checks for proof of departure. All airlines verify at check-in too.
If you arrive without proof of onward travel, you may face:
- Denied boarding by the airline at your departure airport
- Secondary inspection at immigration, causing delays of 1–4 hours
- Denied entry and placement on the next available return flight (at your expense)
- Visa cancellation or a re-entry ban in serious cases
- Shorter stay granted (e.g., 15 days instead of 30)
FlightProof provides instant onward tickets that satisfy both airline check-in systems and immigration requirements worldwide. Your booking comes with a PNR-style booking reference and itinerary PDF delivered to your email within minutes.
