Do I need permission to enter Colombia?

Check MIG (Migración Colombia) is a border control system developed by the Colombian government to regulate the entry and exit of travelers into the country. This system aims to secure the borders and simplify immigration procedures for travelers. Whether you are a Colombian citizen or a foreign national planning to travel to the country, Check MIG is an important aspect to consider before traveling.

The electronic authorization form must be completed and submitted within 72 hours prior to departure, but no later than 1 hour before departure.

The Check-MIG is not a visa for entry into Colombia. If a traveler is coming from a country whose citizens require a visa to cross the border into Colombia, they will need two documents to check with customs officials upon arrival: the visa and the Check-MIG form.

Even if you can enter Colombia without a visa, filling out the Check-MIG form is still mandatory.

Cost of electronic authorization to enter Colombia

The cost of a Colombian entry permit varies depending on your nationality and processing time. The main costs include a consular fee and a service fee.

The consular fee covers the processing of your application for entry authorization and may vary depending on your country of residence. The service fee covers the administrative costs associated with processing your request.

Optional additional services such as completing the online application, obtaining valid international health insurance and priority service may affect the total cost.
