UK to Reinstate Visa Requirements for Colombians Starting December 24, 2024, Says Ambassador Roy Barreras
Nov 26, 2024, 11:53 AM
The United Kingdom will reinstate visa requirements for Colombian travelers starting December 24, 2024, after a two-year exemption. Colombian Ambassador to the UK, Roy Barreras, confirmed that the decision was prompted by an increase in fraudulent asylum applications since the visa requirement was lifted in 2022. Barreras stated, 'A minority abused and harmed the majority,' highlighting the impact of these abuses on the broader Colombian community. The reinstatement marks a significant policy shift for Colombian nationals who previously enjoyed visa-free travel to the UK.
