The Ministry of Health reported that, starting this Thursday, April 7, Colombians who want to travel to the European Union (EU) will have a new digital vaccination certificate appropriate to the regulations of that political community so that they can enter the 27 countries that make it up.

As explained by the head of the Ministry's Information and Communication Technologies (OTIC) Offices, Constanza Engativá, for two months they worked together with the entity's International Cooperation Unit and with European Union technicians so that the technology used in the Colombian digital certificate could be validated in the EU.

The new certificate for Colombians traveling to the European Union will be read on a specific validator used by the 27 countries that make up that geopolitical community, through which the validity of the document will be confirmed.

Likewise, from now on, Colombia will have the European Union's reading system, so that vaccination certificates for European travellers arriving in the national territory can also be validated.

In total, the 27 countries that make up the European Union, to which Colombians will be able to enter with the new digital vaccination certificate, are: Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, Czech Republic, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Sweden, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Estonia, Greece, Malta, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Cyprus, Finland, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Portugal, Romania and Slovenia.

With the issuance of the new digital vaccination certificate, three such documents would already exist in Colombia: “The digital certificate for people who have been vaccinated in Colombia; the digital certificate of Colombians or residents of Colombia who were vaccinated abroad; and the digital certificate for people who were vaccinated abroad; were vaccinated in Colombia and require travel to the European Union or abroad”, concluded the head of the OICT of the Ministry of Health.
