How long is the tourist visa stay in Colombia for US citizens... Is it 60 or 90 days. Can it be renewed?. How much does it cost to renew?
Thanks for the info.

your pasport can be stamped for 3 months and extended month per month three additional times for a totoal of 6 months each renewal is about 50 usd....you can not work without a work visa

The previous post is correct. I will only add that the limit is 6 months in a calendal year. In other words you can not return home and start again, you have to wait 6 months to return or get a special visa like a tst 1 year. If you do want to apply for a special type visa such as a tst you can only apply while outside of Colombia. You can extend these visas while in the country but only in Bogota.
One other thing I will add is that you usually need to ask for 90 days when you arrive otherwise they will usually stamp you for 60.

When you renew at DAS....the cost was 67k cop....they will ONLY renew it for 30 days...

upon entry...they will only give you a 60 day...we have heard of the allusive 90 day stamp...but never heard of anyone actually getting one...I sort of think it is just a rumor :)...

When I came to Medellin in 2006 I asked for 90 days and got it without any problems. Your return ticket must sync with the 90 days.

90 day is for sure not a rumor, what are you talking about...I got 90 day without asking and every single foreigner I talked to got 90 days, never heard of anything else...Getting an extension is simple. You can get working visas within Colombia, that is how I got mine.
