What is the Check-MIG Colombia
The Colombia Check-MIG form is a new compulsory travel document that must be obtained by every traveler both entering Colombia and exiting the country.
The Colombian authorities introduced the form to ensure smooth movement through the country’s borders and minimize the spread of new COVID-19 cases.
Check-MIG declaration must be submitted 24 hours before the planned cross of the Colombian border. One may complete the form one hour prior to the planned departure at the latest.
The Colombian form serves as a one-entry document. Therefore, a new Check-MIG is required whenever one enters Colombia or returns to their home country. The validity of the approved Check-MIG is 30 days from the date of its approval.
Travelers who plan to travel to Colombia will need to go through a very intuitive and straightforward online application which is followed by receiving the Check-MIG receipt via email.
Important note: Check-MIG form is not the same as the Colombian visa. If you are a citizen of a non-visa-exempt country, you need both documents, i.e., a Colombia visa and Check-MIG form. Please also note that even though you may qualify for a Colombia visa exemption, you do still need to complete the Check-MIG declaration.

Nationals of every country in the world are eligible for the Check-MIG migration form.
What is more, they must submit the form any time they will be crossing the Colombian border. This requirement also applies to Colombian residents and citizens.
The only exception when the Colombia Check-MIG is not necessary are passengers who only plan to transit Colombia on their way to the final destination.
