I need to know about the transit visa for Colombia if it is required at the Bogotá airport
Depends, you are going to leave the airport to change airlines or pick up a suitcase?
I think the measures are not bad or very severe, It seems to me that these measures open the doors to tourism as well as to security. Good post
Really, in my opinion, they are useless., they only slow down the road to reactivation.
