Colombia
Introduces Visa-Free Regime for Russians
Colombia starting from Monday is introducing a visa-free travel regime
for Russian citizens. The corresponding resolution was adopted by the
Colombian Foreign Ministry in early March.
It is said in the document that “the visa-free regime is introduced
for three categories of Russian citizens coming to the country for a term
of up to 90 days: tourists, technical specialists and persons temporarily
entering the country.”
The Colombian embassy in Moscow explained earlier that “the cancellation
of visas is linked to Bogota’s desire to considerably increase the
inflow of Russian tourists to Colombia.” About 10,000 Russians annually
visit this Latin American country. (Itar-Tass)
