London Bear Posted Sunday at 05:14 PM Posted Sunday at 05:14 PM I was wondering if any forum members have had any experience, or even anecdotal reports, about fast-track immigration services at aeropuerto El Dorado in Bogotá. I used such a service in Ho Chi Minh City on arrival there last November, and it worked very well. But it seemed to me to be a more well-established feature there – I had seen numerous Tik-Tok clips about it. I have never seen any for El Dorado, though there are many about long immigration lines there. Admittedly I have never had to wait more than about 30 minutes there on my 4-5 previous visits, but my last time was a year ago. I have found one or to concierge type services advertised through a Google search, but some are prohibitively expensive (around $230) and include other luggage and car transfer elements, that I do not need. I have found one called ‘FastLine VIP Airport Services’ which has a much cheaper introductory offer for just $15. But basically, none of these services seem to be specific to El Dorado and I have my doubts about whether immigration there even has a fast track at all. I have never noticed one on previous visit. Any comments welcome. Quote
floridarob Posted Sunday at 07:24 PM Posted Sunday at 07:24 PM I've never noticed either, I've had some longs waits there and even asked people controlling the lines if there was some way to resolve this wait , code for is there someone I can pay to bypass this long line, they said no 🤷♂️ Quote
Members macdaddi Posted 4 hours ago Members Posted 4 hours ago Insider tip (may not apply to your situation): Canadians must pay a Visitor Visa fee upon entry. The only two kiosks at El Dorado that have the payment machines for credit cards are the first two when you enter customs. Go into the line marked Diplomáticos. Explain you are Canadian and they will process you. I am usually through within 10 minutes of disembarking. Quote
