Immigration in Colombia
An advice. On 16 Jan 2012 I entered Colombia through Cali, Colombia airport. I bought a KLR in Cali and exit Colombia via land border into Ecuador at the Ipiales, Colombia /Tulcan, Ecuador border crossing. After riding down South for about 3 months, I decided to return to Colombia via the same exit border cross. But, to my horror I was refused entry into Colombia via the land entry. The official told me to reenter Colombia through the airport entry as my passport only allow me to enter Colombia by this mean. What a policy is that? I did not know all this before I enter or exit Colombia earlier or else I would not have done all this ride from Colombia. So, please check your in and out regulation for your passport before crossing the borders.
Anyway, I managed to reenter Colombia at the same border cross after a long explanation and convincing and the Immigration official there who is so very helpful. BTW, I am a Malaysian, travelling with a Malaysian Passport.
Safe Ride.
