What is Check Mig Colombia?

Check Mig Colombia is a mandatory online pre-registration system that allows travelers, both nationals and foreigners, to preload all information related to their trip when entering or leaving Colombia.

Originally established as a health monitoring tool during the COVID-19 pandemic, Check Mig has evolved into an essential electronic border control system designed to streamline the immigration process. By requiring travelers to submit their information in advance, Colombian authorities can process arrivals and departures more efficiently, reducing wait times and improving the overall travel experience.

Key Information for Travelers

When to Complete Check Mig

Travelers should complete the Check Mig form between 72 hours and 1 hour before their flight. However, it is strongly recommended to complete it at least 24 hours prior to departure to avoid any last-minute issues.

The form becomes available for completion 72 hours before your scheduled flight and must be submitted at least one hour before departure.

Who Needs to Complete Check Mig

Check Mig is mandatory for all travelers entering or leaving Colombia, including:

  • Foreign visitors
  • Colombian nationals
  • Residents
  • Children and minors

This requirement applies to air travel. Land border crossings typically do not require Check Mig completion.

Easy Retrieval

If you've already completed your Check Mig registration, you can easily check and download it again through the designated section on the platform.

Common Issues and Solutions

The Check Mig website may experience instability. To address this, start filling out the form as soon as you become eligible, ideally within 72 hours of departure. This allows for multiple attempts if the site crashes.

The Check Mig form works best on Google Chrome. Download and install the latest version of Chrome, as some other browsers may not function properly with the form.

If you cannot find your flight number on the Check Mig form, ensure you input only the numerical part of the flight number. Check your itinerary for alternate flight numbers or contact the airline for assistance.

If you download a blank document after form approval or don't receive a confirmation email, wait 1-2 minutes and try again. Alternatively, return to the main website and use the "Consult and download your check-mig" button to retrieve the document.
