What if I told you that a small omission when filling out a form could ruin your trip to Colombia? It's no joke. Many travelers have had a scare at the airport for not filling out the Check-MIG correctly. But don’t worry, in this guide, we explain how to fill it out in minutes, without errors and using clear and simple language. Whether it's your first trip or your hundredth, this guide is for you. 😎
The Check-MIG is a digital form that allows you to register your entry or exit from Colombia. It was mandatory during the pandemic, but as of 2023, it is no longer mandatory, although it is highly recommended by Migration Colombia.
This form helps make the migration process faster and more organized.
📢 Migration Colombia has officially confirmed that Check-MIG is not mandatory, but it is recommended.
You can travel without filling it out, but if you do, you will save time and lines.
The migration agents will have your data in advance, making everything more efficient.
Here’s the video where Migration Colombia states: 3 things you need to know about Check-MIG
Between 72 hours and 1 hour before your flight (whether entering or leaving Colombia).
You can do it from your phone or computer.
If you fill out the form too early or too late, you may have to redo it.
