What Is the Colombia Check-MIG?

The Colombia Check-MIG is a digital pre-registration form required by the Colombian immigration authority, Migración Colombia.

The system lets travelers add their trip and contact details before border control. This helps migration officers review information faster and can reduce waiting times.

The form is for nationals and foreigners entering or leaving Colombia. It can be used for trips by air, land, sea, or river transport.

Colombia Check-MIG vs. Colombian visa

The Colombia Check-MIG is not the same as a Colombian visa. Travelers may need one, both, or only the Check-MIG depending on their nationality and travel plans.

	Colombia Check-MIG	Colombian Visa
Type of document	Digital travel declaration for passengers entering or leaving Colombia.	Formal travel permit for certain nationalities or specific travel purposes.
Who needs it	Required for all passengers, regardless of nationality.	Required only if your nationality, stay length, or travel purpose requires it.
Purpose	Registers trip and contact details before border control.	Allows certain travelers to enter, stay longer, work, study, or live in Colombia.
Travel permission	Does not allow extended stays, work, or residence.	Can allow longer stays or specific activities, depending on the visa type.

Colombia has different visa categories, including Visitor Visa (Type V), Migrant Visa (Type M), and Resident Visa (Type R).

Citizens of visa-exempt countries, such as Spain, the United States, Mexico, and Argentina, can usually visit Colombia for short tourist stays without a visa. However, they still need to complete the Colombia CheckMig before traveling.

Who Needs to Complete the Check-MIG?

The Colombia Check-MIG is for international travelers entering or leaving Colombia, including:

Tourists
Business travelers
Colombian nationals
Foreign visitors
Residents
Children and minors

For minors, a parent or guardian should complete the form with the child’s details.

The Check-MIG applies regardless of your travel purpose or visa type. Start your Colombia CheckMig online now and get your pre-registration ready before your trip.
