Colombia visa requirements for US citizens
U.S. citizens do not need a visa to visit Colombia for tourism or short-term stays of up to 90 days. Separately, Migración Colombia runs the Check-MIG travel registration for flights into and out of the country: it collects your personal details, passport information and travel plans, and the agency does not classify it as obligatory, though filing before you fly puts your details in the system ahead of your arrival. Useful things to have ready for a trip to Colombia: a United States passport valid for the duration of the stay; your Check-MIG confirmation; a confirmed return or onward flight ticket; proof of accommodation (hotel reservation or invitation letter); evidence of sufficient funds for the duration of the stay; and any other supporting documents, depending on your purpose and situation.

Colombia Check-MIG FormArrival card
- 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.
- Entry and exit
- 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.
- Delivery format
- Once approved, you'll receive your confirmation by email along with information on the next steps and how to use your Check-MIG Form to 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.
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.
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!!
Easy application, good communication, and quick service. Used this service for year, with the same result.
clear instructions and communications. you never felt unsure of the process and knew what would happen next. took the stress out of the unknown.
The process was easy, the website was easy to follow and they communicated with me 100% letting me know that I had applied too early and that they would apply me at the proper term A++
IVisa has always been very dedicated to making sure everything is correct, honestly I had a document that had a mistake about a year ago and IVisa corrected it at no additional cost. So I will always use your service
Great experience. But had problems entering my credit card number to pay for the service. I had to pay using PayPal.
Prompt attention & my documents was received in a timely fashion .
