Colombia and Bonaire share a special Caribbean bond, and many travelers from Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali visit us every year. If you are planning your adventure, the first question is usually: “Do Colombians need a visa for Bonaire?” 🇨🇴✈️
At Fiesta Tours Bonaire, we have the good news you’ve been waiting for! Here is everything you need to know about the legal requirements for your 2026 trip. 🇧🇳✨
🚫 The Short Answer: No Visa Required!
As of 2026, Colombian citizens do not need a visa to enter Bonaire for tourism. Thanks to international agreements, you can enjoy our island for up to 90 days (within a 180-day period) using only your valid passport. 🥳
However, while the visa is not necessary, there are several mandatory documents you must present to the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee (KMar) upon arrival.
📑 1. Mandatory Entry Requirements for 2026
To ensure your entry is as smooth as a sunset at Pink Beach, make sure you have:
- Biometric Passport: Must be valid for the entire duration of your stay. 🛂
- Visitor Entry Tax QR Code: Every non-resident must pay the Bonaire Entry Tax. It is $75 USD and we highly recommend paying it online before you fly. 📑
- Proof of Accommodation: A confirmed hotel booking or an invitation letter.
- Economic Solvency: You may be asked to prove you have enough funds (approximately $75–$150 USD per day). 💵
- Return Ticket: Proof that you have a flight scheduled to leave the island. ✈️
💉 2. The Yellow Fever Certificate (Crucial!)
Because Colombia is on the list of countries with a risk of Yellow Fever, you must carry your International Certificate of Vaccination (the yellow card). ⚠️
- The vaccine must be applied at least 10 days before your arrival.
- This is strictly checked at the airport, so keep it with your passport! 💉
⛵ Traveling between Bonaire and Curaçao?
Many Colombians enjoy “island hopping.” If you are visiting our neighbors, remember that:
- Colombians do not need a visa for Curaçao either.
- You will need to fill out the Curaçao DI Card separately.
- Each time you re-enter Bonaire, your Entry Tax QR code is usually valid for a short period (check current 2026 updates for multi-entry validity).
