I'm getting everything ready for my journey to Colombia and just found out about this Check-MIG Form. Is it really necessary if I already have a visa? Also, why are you charging for it? I saw on the Colombia government website that it’s free.

Yes, the Check-MIG Form is necessary even if you have a visa. It's a separate requirement that allows Colombian authorities to manage entries and exits more efficiently by having your information preloaded before you arrive. This form must be filled out for each trip, regardless of whether you have a visa or not.
While it's provided free of charge by the Colombian government, we charge a processing fee to complete the Check-MIG Form on behalf of our clients. When you choose to use our service, you're avoiding the stress that comes with filling out forms online. The application will be vetted by one of our visa experts before it's submitted to the Colombian government to ensure your application is accurate and error-free.

I'll be traveling to Colombia in a couple of days and then to Venezuela before returning to Colombia again. I just filled out the Check-MIG Form. Can I use this same form when I return to COL, or do I need to fill out a new one for each visit?
iVisa
September 16 2024
You'll need to fill out a new Check-MIG Form for each trip to Colombia. The form is specific to each entry and exit from the country, so even if you have back-to-back trips planned, you'll need to complete a separate form for each one.

I'm heading back to Colombia for a visit. I grew up there but now live in Canada. Do I need to fill out the Check-MIG Form too, or is that only for non-Colombians? I have a Colombian passport.

Yes, you’ll need to fill out the Check-MIG Form when you travel to Colombia. This form is required for all travelers, including Colombian nationals returning to Colombia.

Hi Mahfuzur,
It’s exciting that you’re considering working in Colombia. To do this, you’ll need to apply for a Colombian work visa before your trip. At the moment, we don't handle Colombian visa applications, so what you'll need to do is apply for your visa at the Embassy of Colombia in New Delhi, India, which is accredited to Bangladesh.
For your application, you’ll need a valid passport with at least six months of validity remaining beyond your stay. You’ll also need to fill out the official visa application form accurately and provide recent passport-sized photos. A critical requirement is an employment contract from a Colombian employer offering you a job. Additionally, you’ll need to submit proof of your qualifications, such as diplomas or certifications relevant to your position.
To show financial readiness, you’ll need to provide bank statements or other documents demonstrating you can support yourself initially. Finally, you must have health insurance that covers you during your stay in Colombia.
The application process can take a few weeks, so it’s best to apply as early as possible. For detailed guidance or specific requirements, we recommend contacting the Colombian embassy in India.
Before you travel, remember that all visitors to Colombia need to complete the Check-MIG form online. This form helps streamline immigration and must be submitted between 72 hours and 1 hour before your flight. You can fill out the form by clicking on the "Apply Now" button on this page.

Hi Zainullah,
If you’re planning to visit Colombia, applying for a visa is an important step. We currently don't handle Colombian visa applications. As an Afghan citizen, you’ll need to contact the Colombian Embassy in Washington, DC, to find out how to submit your application (this embassy is accredited with Afghanistan). The type of visa you’ll need depends on your purpose of travel, such as tourism, business, or family visits.
You’ll need a valid passport that’s good for at least six months after your trip, along with a completed visa application form. Make sure to include recent passport-sized photos. You’ll also be required to provide a detailed itinerary showing your travel plans, including flight bookings and accommodations, whether it’s a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation if staying with friends or family.
It’s important to prove you have enough resources to support your trip. This can include bank statements, proof of income, or sponsorship letters. Additionally, you’ll need health insurance that covers you for the duration of your stay in Colombia.
Visa applications can take time to process, so it’s smart to apply well ahead of your intended travel date. Also, remember that all travelers must complete the Check-MIG form before entering or leaving Colombia. This online form needs to be filled out between 72 hours and 1 hour before your flight and helps make immigration smoother. You can click "Apply Now" on this page to fill out the form.

No worries. Contact our customer team as soon as possible and they will be happy to help you resolve the problem. Our visa experts are available 24/7.
What can I do if my Colombia Check-MIG form application has been canceled or rejected?
iVisa reviews your documents and assists you during the application process to avoid rejection. But if the Colombian government rejects or cancels your application, you are eligible for a full refund of the iVisa processing fee, related to the number of rejected applicants. Other than that, we do not refund the government fees.
You may consider re-applying for the Colombia Check-MIG form, depending on the reasons for cancellation or rejection.
Can I edit my Colombia Check-MIG?
If you realize you made a mistake in the form and need to edit it, you should contact our customer support team as soon as possible to help you solve the problem. Remember, your application will always be reviewed by our experts, so you can count on our team to notify you if something is missing before the submission.
Do I need to fill out a Check-MIG form to leave Colombia?
Yes, the Colombia Check-MIG form is mandatory for all passengers entering and leaving the country. So you may be denied entry or exit from Colombia without this document.
How do processing times work?
At iVisa, we understand that your time is valuable, and we strive to provide you with the fastest service possible. Our processing times are estimated based on the average duration it takes governments to process visa applications. These estimated times begin from the moment we receive all the correct information for your application until you receive your visa. While we work diligently to expedite the process, it’s important to note that we are reliant on the processing times set by the government authorities.
