<h3>What happens when my visa expires, and I am still in that country? I am in Colombia?</h3>

I am in Colombia and I have just 2 weeks before it expires, can I still stay in the country as a tourist or will I have to leave? I have an NGO visa.


<strong>Colombia best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by Legio XVII</i><br/>Might be different for Colombia specifically, but typically you start accruing fines which you have to pay when you pass through customs to leave the country.</p>

This is one of the pictures I took on February 4, 2008 at the &quot;Walk for the Peace of Colombia&quot;. It started and ended at Olympic Plaza, with a walk along Stephen Avenue Mall. It was quite cold, but everyone seemed quite enthusiastic, and determined to endure the bad weather. People were calling for an end to the kidnappings, killings, and other violence committed by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutionary_Armed_Forces_of_Colombia">FARC </a> in Colombia.</p>
