Countries Offering eVisa and ETA to Colombian Citizens<\/h3>\n\n

Demande d'une eVisa<\/b> ou un Autorisation de voyage \u00e9lectronique (eTA)<\/b> makes international travel much easier. The process is entirely online- you submit an application, upload documents, and once approved, the visa or authorization is sent to your email. So, you don\u2019t need to visit an embassy in this case.<\/p>

So what\u2019s the difference between eVisa and eTA? An eVisa is the short form of Electronic Visa. It is simply linked to your passport number electronically and is valid for a certain duration. When approved, it will be sent to your email. You must present a printed copy of your eVisa or the downloaded version on your phone upon arrival.<\/p>

An eTA acts as a pre-clearance linked to your passport number for travel. Instead of applying for a full visa in advance, the immigration officials grant you entry once you arrive in the destination country.<\/p>

Unlike eVisa, the eTA comes with a short timeframe and travelers need to arrive at their destination within that timeframe. Otherwise, the visa gets cancelled and travellers need a fresh application for travel.<\/p>
