Cheapest route out

ccebhei

Hi all,


I am going to apply for an extension of my tourist days --- because the apostille is taking much longer than expected. We are supposed to have a ticket out when applying for this Extension. I know some people say its not needed, but it says so here. Of course I do not intend on using it. I have tried to buy a bus ticked out online, but somehow I dont get any site to do so, nor do I know which one is the cheapest. If at all they refuse my tourist extension days I would fly out, but its not really likely, is it? So the bus ticket is just for the requirement.... any idea where I can buy the busticket online and from which point of Colombia to which point outside?asi-puedes-solicitar-la-prorroga-de-permanencia-en-colombia#:~:text=%C2%BFCu%C3%A1les%20son%20los%20requisitos%3F,momento%20de%20entrar%20al%20pa%C3%ADs.&text=Imagen%20de%20la%20hoja%20del,el%20sello%20de%20ingreso%20estampado

Hello Bhavna, the link just went to the government site that shows the requirements - but anyhow, I did finally purchase a flight ticket that can be moved down the line, should I not require it.


But thanks for replying!

What.an open ended question.


Dont even know where in Colombia you are.


Here is the link



You want to go into " Tramites" and follow intstructions for item 4


4.Permiso Temporal de Permanencia (PTP) o Prórroga de permanencia


When it comes to.pay, they may not let you pay by credit card , but they will give you  the option to pay at a bank ( Migraciones Bank that they use) with a QR code.


You should  then be ready to go.



If any issues, make an appointment at local Migraciones  office...which is another procedure, requiring a document  called a FUT and an approved cita ( apointment).time and date.You wont find a FUT category for PTP, so you can use a salvaconducto as your FUT category, which is a similar trámite, but for expiring vuss.


THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS UNDERTAKE PROCESS 2 TO 3 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR PASSPORT STAMP EXPIRES

As far as buses, it depends where you live, but you wont be.taking a bus to Panamá, unless you wanna cross the Darien Gap (LOL), and not to Venezuela, unless you wanna be a political.prisoner, so the only option is to go to Pasto/ Ipiales and Tulcán area of Ecuador. Dont know if you have to be out for 24 hours.


Depending on where you are in Colombia, this vould be a very long trip...several days


I highly recommend  you fly to Quito or Panamá if you are forcesd to leave..both similar costs..but best optionby far  is to get your extensiion REMEMBER START AT LEAST 2 WEEKS BEFORE PASSPORT STAMP EXPIRY DATE.

Any questions in the following days I will try to help, if I am on this site.
