Expired visa

What is a "Stamped Tourist Visa?" You can't fly out of Cúcuta to the USA, not designated as an international departure air port. You might try entering as a tourist with your US Passport, then fly to Bogotá, Barranquilla, or Cartagena and try to purchase or just fly direct to the USA from Venezuela?

I want to fly out of Cucuta. ¿ Porque?

I have the " paste in visa " now that is expired. The stamped visa is that tourist visa you get for what 90 days. I know that I need to fly from Cucuta to Bogota and then the U.S. I have heard nothing but bad things about flying out of Venezula.

I was escorted to a room by a pimply face 14 year old with an automatic rifle last departure from Caracas. Why you ask? Well the imbecile that stamped my passport upon entrance to Venezuela stamped it in the "salida" column. Upon exiting they want to see my "entrada" stamp.

Six hours later and having missed my flight it was sorted out. Thank goodness my now wife was with me to help sort it out. My spanish really sucked then. Finally I produced the tickets for both of us and the exit stamps from Aruba in both of our passports and the time on the stamps to enter Venezula...well they reluctantly allowed me to leave...Sheesh.

An expired visa is no longer valid. You MIGHT be able to enter on the US Passport as a tourist but I believe you would have problems with DAS when they see the expired visa.

That is what I am afraid of facing. I was wondering if DAS at the border would issue a temp tourist if I have a plane ticket?

Why not? You left legally right? Unless your stay during 2009 somehow affects the 6 months per year for tourist visa rule.

Yes I left legally and am in Venezula on a 90 day visa. Maybe I will try or go and ask at border. If they say no I can just turn around and go back to Venezula.

I have been in Colombia for a year so I don't know how that would affect the visa.

if you left colomba legally and you have not used up 180 days in this calender year you can come back as a tourist ..No problem .....I am thinking you have used up the 180 days ..that is for the tourist .....if your previous visa ran out and you left before the time expired no problem to re enter on tourist ...

Smile and everyone will wonder what they are missing.

I don't know if the visa I have is a tourist visa................. it is a TEMPORAL TC visa for married to a Colombian. If it isn't counted as a tourist visa, then I have not used any days in 09 under a tourist visa. Would it count as a tourist visa?
