Colombia visa requirements
Whether you need a visa for Colombia depends on your nationality and the purpose of your trip. Separately, Migración Colombia runs the Check-MIG travel registration for flights into and out of the country. The agency does not classify it as obligatory, but filing before you fly puts your details in the system ahead of your arrival. It is not a visa and does not replace one; if your nationality requires a visa, you need to obtain that separately.
Start your application and iVisa will confirm exactly which Colombia travel document you need based on your nationality and trip, then prepare, review, and file it for you.
General Colombia visa requirements are:
Requirements verified against official government sources
- A valid passport (must be valid for at least six months from your date of arrival)
- Travel details (including airline, flight number, and arrival/departure dates)
- Accommodation details (hotel name or local address)
- A valid email address

Apply now- Who it's for
- Every traveler entering or leaving Colombia by air, regardless of nationality. Each person needs their own form, including infants and minors — a parent or legal guardian can complete it on the child's behalf.
- Permitted activities
- The Check-MIG covers travel for tourism, visiting family and friends, business, transit, or study. It is a travel registration, not a visa — if your nationality requires a visa to enter Colombia, you need to obtain that separately.
- When to submit
- The window runs from 72 hours to 1 hour before your flight departs. We recommend filing at least 24 hours ahead so your confirmation is ready at check-in. Some airlines ask to see it, so check with your carrier before you travel.

I had tried to use the online website to submit the application and it kept crashing. I then found the ivisa site very easy to use and quick. It was well worth the cost.
Simple and easy process. Took only 5 minutes from application submission to receipt of the documents.
You site is easily navigable and the speedy service that you said you would provide was done.
Agents were compassionate and worked hard to get my tourism permit through in a hurry. They kept me posted along the way and reassured me that they would be available if I needed them.
The information I required was immediately available. iVisa is professional, they communicated immediately with me. All details needed were entered. The application was made. iVisa is efficient. I applied, I paid and on the exact date needed the entry pass was sent to me, online.
It was easy to fill in. I have some recommendations: Before completing I'd prefer to get a summary of what I have entered, just to verify the data.
I shouldn't have had to pay anything and I'm aggravated that this site came up first when I tried to just do the immigration form and it cost me $50!!
I never ask help from you to fill up my form.i came in colombia 3 times and never payed for my check mig.you made me beleive that there was now something to pay and you charged 150$ on my credit card. I Will make a BIG COMPLAIN
This was not accepted at all in Colombia. I was required to pay this entrance fee again despite having already registered and paid on line $75 to iVisa. I expect to receive a refund since I was not able to use this service at all.
Easy application, good communication, and quick service. Used this service for year, with the same result.
Colombia visa FAQs
What travelers commonly ask about Colombia visas.
Still have questions?
Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.
Is the Colombia Check-MIG Form the same as a Colombian visa?
No. The Check-MIG is a digital travel registration for travelers entering or leaving Colombia, regardless of nationality. It is not a visa and does not replace one. If your nationality requires a visa to enter Colombia (such as a Tourist or Visitor Visa), you need to obtain that separately.
When is the latest I can submit my Colombia Check-MIG Form?
The window runs from 72 hours to 1 hour before your flight departs. We recommend filing at least 24 hours ahead so your confirmation is ready at check-in. Some airlines ask to see it, so check with your carrier before you travel.
Do I need a Colombia Check-MIG Form to leave Colombia?
The registration covers both directions, and each one is a separate submission. A round trip means filing again for your departure, within the 72-hour window before your flight out.
How long can I stay in Colombia as a tourist?
Most visa-exempt travelers (from the US, Canada, UK, and EU) are granted a stay of up to 90 days upon arrival. This permit is determined by the immigration officer at the border. You can extend this for an additional 90 days, allowing for a total of 180 days per calendar year.
Do I need a Colombia Check-MIG Form for transit?
You will only need to complete the Check-MIG form if you plan to leave the international transit area or clear immigration.
What happens if I forget to complete the Colombia Check-MIG Form?
Migración Colombia does not refuse entry to travelers who have not filed. In practice you may be asked to complete it on your phone at the airport, where the official portal can be slow at peak times — that delay is what filing in advance avoids.
Do children need their own Colombia Check-MIG Form?
Every traveler has their own record, including infants and minors. A parent or legal guardian can file for a child, using the child’s passport details exactly as they appear.
The Check-MIG is free from the government. What am I paying iVisa for?
Migración Colombia charges nothing for the Check-MIG. iVisa’s service fee covers the guided application, expert review that catches errors before submission, and 24/7 support in 14+ languages. The government form is free; the time and the risk of getting it wrong are not. If you are comfortable with the official process, applying directly is a valid choice.
