Due to the YF health emergency in the country, Colombia now requires proof of yellow fever (YF) vaccination when using public transportation services or visiting national nature parks. The YF vaccination entry requirement remains unchanged. The YF requirement statement has been revised as follows:
Requirement (for entry, per WHO): A certificate proving yellow fever (YF) vaccination is required for travelers aged ≥ 1 year coming from Angola, Brazil, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Uganda. This also applies to airport transit stops (no exit through immigration checkpoint) longer than 12 hours in these countries.
Proof of vaccination (administered ≥ 10 days prior to travel) is also required for persons using public transportation services in Colombia; however, a signed declaration assuming direct responsibility for any possible infection of themselves and/or others is acceptable if a vaccination certificate is not available or not yet valid. Proof of vaccination (or a signed declaration) should be carried at all times.
