What Colombia requires
One document, and it applies to every foreign national: whatever your passport, however you arrive.
Colombia Check-Mig
Check-Mig
The Colombia Check-Mig (Migración Colombia) is Colombia's official online pre-registration, a mandatory immigration requirement for all travelers entering or leaving the country. Complete your Colombia Check-Mig online before departure so your pre-registration is done before you reach any Colombian airport.
What you'll need
Travel information including journey type, transport mode, and flight details, personal details including passport number and nationality, accommodation details in Colombia, and contact details and valid email address.

Four steps, and you know all four
Most services show you three. The fourth one is real, so here it is.

Your trip
When you arrive and leave, and where to email the document.
02
Your travelers
Passport details for everyone traveling. Photograph the passport page and we fill it in for you.
03
Review and pay

Arrival details
After payment
Airline, flight number and your address in Colombia. About 2 minutes, once your payment clears.
What it costs
$99.99 per traveler for the Check-Mig, charged for at most 2 travelers. Colombia charges no government fee, so that is the whole bill.
What $99.99 adds
Someone else carries it
- An AI checks every answer against Colombia's rules, then a person reviews it before it goes in.
- Apply today, whenever your trip is. We submit on the day the window opens.
- If Colombia's portal is down or rejects the submission, we keep trying until it goes through.
- Passport scanning, real-time validation, and a human on chat if it snags.
- A family of four is one form and one review, not four attempts.
Doing it yourself

- The official portal, in your own time. It works.
- The portal goes down for maintenance and times your session out. Every retry is yours to make.
- You have to remember the day the window opens, and count back from your arrival yourself.
- A typo in a passport number is yours to catch, and to fix at the airport.
- Every traveler entered separately, from scratch, with nobody to ask when a field is unclear.
Review and submission speed
Every application is checked by a person before it is submitted. Standard is included in the price above. Two faster options are available at checkout, and neither is pre-selected.

Times are counted from the moment we can submit, not from payment. If Colombia is not accepting your document for your dates yet, we hold the application and start the clock when its window opens; checkout shows you that date before you pay. Speeds move your application up our review queue; they do not change how fast the government processes it once submitted, and they are not a guarantee of approval.
A travel eSIM is the only other optional extra at checkout. Every line is itemized before you pay.
Who needs one
Every foreign national entering Colombia, whatever your passport. Find yours below.
The questions people actually ask
One: the Check-Mig. It applies to every foreign national arriving in Colombia, by air, land or sea. If your nationality also needs a visa, that is a separate application. The Check-Mig does not replace it.
All we need is the day you land.
Start now, pay when you have seen the full price, and let someone else keep track of Colombia's submission window.
