  2. Select your preferred language (Spanish, English, or French)
  3. Read and accept the terms and conditions
  4. Grant necessary permissions (such as camera access for scanning documents)

Tip

While the app doesn't require creating an account with a password, providing an accurate email address is essential as your confirmation will be sent there.

Completing the Check Mig Form

The process of completing the Check Mig form on the mobile app follows a similar structure to the website version:

1

Select Entry or Exit

Choose whether you're entering Colombia or departing from the country.

App Tip

The app may use icons rather than text for this selection. Look for an airplane arriving (entry) or departing (exit).

2

Select Transport Type

Indicate whether you're traveling by air, sea, land, or river.

3

Enter Travel Details

Provide information about your entry/exit point, travel date, and transportation details (e.g., flight number).

App Tip

The app may offer a calendar interface for selecting dates, which is often easier to use than typing dates manually.

4

Enter Personal Information

Input your personal details exactly as they appear in your passport.

App Tip

Some versions of the app may allow you to scan your passport using your phone's camera, which can save time and reduce errors.

5

Provide Contact Information

Enter your email, phone number, and accommodation details in Colombia.

6

Review and Submit

Check all information for accuracy, accept the terms, and submit your application.
