Planning an unforgettable Caribbean getaway to the diving paradise of Bonaire? If you are a citizen of Colombia, understanding the current entry and visa requirements is your first critical step.
The good news is that for short tourist stays, the entry process is generally straightforward. As of the current regulations, Colombian citizens do not require a visa for tourist stays in Bonaire, Curaçao, or Aruba for up to 90 days within a 180-day period.
Let Fiestatours Bonaire help you navigate the essential logistics and seamlessly transition from planning your paperwork to planning your perfect dive trip!
🛂 Essential Requirements for Colombian Citizens (No Visa Needed)
Even though a tourist visa is typically not required for a short visit, you must still comply with all other immigration requirements upon arriving at Airport Bonaire (BON).
Travelers must be prepared to show:
- Valid Passport: Must be valid for at least six months beyond your departure date. 📄
- Round-Trip or Transit Ticket: Proof that you will leave Bonaire or the Caribbean region within the allotted time. 🎫
- Proof of Accommodation: A confirmed reservation (hotel, apartment, or package details). 🏡
- Proof of Funds: Evidence that you have sufficient financial means to cover your stay and return. 💵
- Mandatory Visitor Entry Tax: This fee must be paid before or upon arrival. 💳
📝 The Crucial Logistical Step: Visitor Entry Tax & Conservation
All visitors to Bonaire must pay a mandatory visitor tax, which funds local infrastructure and conservation efforts.
- Funding Conservation: A portion of this tax goes directly to protecting the island’s unique ecosystems, including the famous Bonaire Park systems. 🐠
- Payment: This tax is typically paid digitally before travel to expedite airport processing.
