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.

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.
