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>

Instead of applying for a visa beforehand, a Visa on arrival<\/b> permits travelers to obtain their entry permit at the airport or border post. It\u2019s a convenient option for Colombian citizens, but rules can change rapidly. So, it\u2019s always best to check the latest VoA regulation of the destination country before applying.<\/p>
