Questions?
Is the Check-MIG Form necessary?
James W, USA | July 7, 2024
I'm getting everything ready for my journey to Colombia and just found out about this Check-MIG Form. Is it really necessary if I already have a visa? Also, why are you charging for it? I saw on the Colombia government website that it’s free.
Martin, iVisa | July 10, 2024
Yes, the Check-MIG Form is necessary even if you have a visa. It's a separate requirement that allows Colombian authorities to manage entries and exits more efficiently by having your information preloaded before you arrive. This form must be filled out for each trip, regardless of whether you have a visa or not.
While it's provided free of charge by the Colombian government, we charge a processing fee to complete the Check-MIG Form on behalf of our clients. When you choose to use our service, you're avoiding the stress that comes with filling out forms online. The application will be vetted by one of our visa experts before it's submitted to the Colombian government to ensure your application is accurate and error-free.

Linda B, USA | July 13, 2024
I'll be traveling to Colombia in a couple of days and then to Venezuela before returning to Colombia again. I just filled out the Check-MIG Form. Can I use this same form when I return to COL, or do I need to fill out a new one for each visit?
Cami, iVisa | July 15, 2024
You'll need to fill out a new Check-MIG Form for each trip to Colombia. The form is specific to each entry and exit from the country, so even if you have back-to-back trips planned, you'll need to complete a separate form for each one.
Who must apply for Check-MIG Form?
Carrie S, Canada | July 19, 2024
I'm heading back to Colombia for a visit. I grew up there but now live in Canada. Do I need to fill out the Check-MIG Form too, or is that only for non-Colombians? I have a Colombian passport.
Cami, iVisa | July 22, 2024
Yes, you’ll need to fill out the Check-MIG Form when you travel to Colombia. This form is required for all travelers, including Colombian nationals returning to Colombia. It's part of the standard entry procedure for everyone, regardless of nationality, to improve the immigration process upon arrival.

What can I do if my Colombia Check-MIG form application has been canceled or rejected?
iVisa reviews your documents and assists you during the application process to avoid rejection. But if the Colombian government rejects or cancels your application, you are eligible for a full refund of the iVisa processing fee, related to the number of rejected applicants. Other than that, we do not refund the government fees.
You may consider re-applying for the Colombia Check-MIG form, depending on the reasons for cancellation or rejection.
