Overview

The Embassy of Colombia works from Via Giuseppe Pisanelli 4, a quiet street between Piazza del Popolo and the Tiber in the Flaminio quarter. The relationship it manages has grown briskly: Italy is one of Colombia's main European trading partners, Colombian communities have taken root across the peninsula, and the 2015 EU visa waiver turned Italian-Colombian tourism into a two-way current. Colombia's consular work runs through two dedicated consulates — one a short walk away at Piazzale Flaminio 9, one in Milan — leaving the Pisanelli chancery to diplomacy, trade, and culture.

Visa Services

Colombian passport holders enter Italy and the whole Schengen area visa-free for 90 days in any 180 — the EU waiver in force since 2015 — and Italians enter Colombia visa-free for 90 days, extendable in-country. Non-EU nationals resident in Italy who need a Colombian visa apply through the cancillería's online visa system, with the embassy as the reference mission.

Consular Services

Passports, civil registration, powers of attorney, and citizen services for Colombians in Italy belong to the consulates: Rome's at Piazzale Flaminio 9 (+39 06 322 2722, croma@cancilleria.gov.co) and Milan's at Via Tivoli 3 (+39 02 7200 3872, cmilan@cancilleria.gov.co). The embassy itself answers on +39 06 361 2131 during its 08:30-17:30 day.

Service Area

The embassy covers Colombia's bilateral relations with Italy. Consular jurisdiction belongs to the Consulate in Rome and the Consulate in Milan.

Appointment Information

The embassy receives Monday to Friday, 08:30-17:30, at Via Giuseppe Pisanelli 4 — three lines answer: +39 06 361 2131, 06 361 4348, and 06 320 2405, with eitalia@cancilleria.gov.co as the mailbox. Consular business goes to the consulates directly: Piazzale Flaminio 9 in Rome (+39 06 322 2722) or Via Tivoli 3 in Milan (+39 02 7200 3872).

Special Notes

The embassy and the Rome consulate sit in the same quarter but are different offices with different phones — the consulate at Piazzale Flaminio 9 is the one with the appointment queues. Milan's consulate covers the north from Via Tivoli 3.

Frequently asked questions

Do Colombians need a visa for Italy?

No — Colombian passport holders enter Italy and the whole Schengen area visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period, under the EU waiver in force since 2015. Stays for work or study still need the appropriate Italian visa arranged beforehand.
