Bickerss, I have a similar recollection as you. I actually remembered Singapore as I have friends there and thought it a possible vacation destination. In a different part of the Ministry of Foreign Relations website is a pdf table of all of the countries of the world with a notation as to whether they require visas of colombianos or if Colombia requires visas of their citizens. It is dated Abril 09. Don't know if it has been changed in the last few months but the table can be found here;

I think that Colombians do need a visa for Singapore and have to apply in advance. Colombians can get a visa for Hong Kong on arrival.
Colombians do need a Shengen transit visa merely to transit European airports (often changing terminals). Sometimes they can get away with no transit visa in Spain but it is really stressful, particularly for the person who paid for the air ticket (usually not Colombian).

Must be an older list as Panama now requires a visa, and of course the stickler is if transiting through another countries airport/territory, you will also need special permission/visa such as the U.K. etc. Madrid does check for this if continuing on to different Shengen countries such as Italy.

If you're married to a Colombiana and she's got her green card, all the world's doors are opened to her.

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

Lampltr - I just took my GF to Panama and she did not need a visa. She did need to show ecenomic ability.

Lazydog - thanks; well that really sucks if they need a Shengen visa to just transit. Bummer.

Excellent post. Don't eequire for T&T? Good to know.

A Trini once told me, all the Colombianas in T&T were Putas. I responded "Not all of them" (refering to the Colombianas).

"Sure , true " he said, "Some of them are Venezuelanas" (Referring to the Putas).

What about Aruba? They don't need one ther either, I believ (not a county though)

The Shengen visa and the Shengen transit visa are different visas. Very little fun involved.
