Colombia hits back at UK with unexpected travel rule change
Colombia takes action against UK by introducing new visa rules for British travelers. President **Gustavo Petro** makes this decision after UK removed Colombia from its visa-free entry list
In a quick-response move‚ Gustavo Petro – Colombias head-of-state announced brand-new entry rules for UK passport holders (making their travel to South-American nation more complex)
The high-level decision came right after UK government dropped Colombia from its no-visa-needed list: forcing Colombian citizens to get tourist papers before visiting British territory. Through his X social-media post Petro pointed out that this move follows the “principle of reciprocity“
The time-frame for putting these new rules in action remains unclear; however the Colombian administration seems ready to make British travelers go through similar paper-work processes that their own citizens now face when planning UK trips
The tit-for-tat policy shift shows how countries adjust their border-crossing rules based on other nations choices – making international travel requirements a two-way street
