My wife became a US citizen in 2016 so we only brought her US passport. Big mistake. When we arrived in Colombia we were told she would have to provide her Colombian passport prior to leaving or face a penalty of 991 mil pesos (currently abot $340 dollars). So when I was checking our bags to leave Colombia, the ticket agent for Copa asked me if my wife had a Colombian passport and I said no, hoping that was the end of it. Well, it wasn't. As we approached our flight gate, there was one more check point where they asked to see my wife's Colombian passport. My wife acted surprised and insisted no one had told us aboout the law. The Colombian agent smiled and pointed to his computer screen, saying "but it says right here they told you when you entered two weeks ago." My wife didn't miss a beat and said "please sir, can't you help us?" Within about 30 seconds of my wife's continued pleading with him I passed him 40 US dollars and he wished us a good trip...
