Hi Luis,
Yes, you do need to fill out the Check-MIG Form when you leave Colombia and return to the United States. Many travelers assume this form is only for entry, but Colombia requires it for both arrival and departure.
You’ll need to complete it within 72 hours before your departure, so don’t try to fill it out too early or the system won’t let you submit it. Once you’ve completed it, you’ll get a QR code confirmation, which you should save to your phone or print out to show at the airport.
To make things easier, you can apply for the Check-MIG Form through our platform and avoid the hassle of dealing with government portals that can sometimes be slow or glitchy. Our process is simple and user-friendly: we’ll walk you through the steps, make sure everything is filled out correctly, and send your completed form straight to your inbox. That way, you won’t have to worry about making mistakes that could delay your departure.
Hi Don,
That’s a great question. Right now, Colombia has lifted all COVID-19-related entry restrictions, which means you don’t need to show proof of vaccination or a negative test result to enter the country. Travelers can arrive without any COVID-19-specific documentation, making the process much simpler than it was before.
While you don’t need to worry about COVID-19 rules anymore, there are still standard entry requirements to keep in mind. As a US citizen, you can visit Colombia without a visa for up to 90 days, and if you need more time, you can request an extension for another 90 days, but your total stay in Colombia should not exceed 180 days in a calendar year.
Also, while there’s no strict passport validity rule beyond your stay, it’s always best to have at least six months left on your passport when traveling internationally.
It's always a good idea to check for any health recommendations before your trip. For example, if you’re visiting certain rural or forested areas, you might need a yellow fever vaccination. It’s always best to check with a travel clinic or your doctor before you go.
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.
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.
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.
