Tourist - overstayed 180 days

1 year ago

Anyone personally experience overstaying 180 days as a Tourist (+90 day approved extension)?

Migracion pulled me aside as I was leaving El Dorado Airport in Bogota last month returning home to the US. I miscalculated my days and hit 181. I was asked to make copies of my Passport and Stamps and to fill out paperwork. I was told I would receive an email from Migracion in 3-6 months. Not sure what information or acrtions the email will contain. I did not have to pay a fine on the spot. I was then given a form allowing me to exit the country and board my flight back to the US.

I am wondering what may happen when I return to Colombia and present at Migracion later this month (1st entry was Jan 7th, 2022).
