The rest of the trip for a Nigerian passport, from the arrival form to customs and travelling with children: Colombia entry requirements.
The details for a Nigerian passport.
Visa required (applied for online at Cancillería): not in the visa-exempt lists of Resolution 5488 of 2022, and Cancillería's May 2026 list marks it 'SI'. CORRECTION: the US/Schengen-visa exemption does NOT apply to this nationality. It is limited to Literal C (Cambodia, China, India, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam). Permanent residents of a Pacific Alliance member state may also be admitted without a visa for short stays (Resolution 5488, art. 4). Migración Colombia sets the days granted.
How long it must be valid.
Valid on arrival and for the whole stay; Colombian authorities recommend 6 months beyond departure.
