Migración Colombia displays a notice stating Check-Mig is suggested/optional and allows you to use BIOMIG biometric gates. However, many international airlines still verify Check-Mig confirmation prior to boarding, and completing it significantly speeds up airport immigration clearance.
You can submit Check-Mig between 72 hours and 1 hour before your scheduled flight. In the official portal calendar, only Today, Tomorrow, and the Day After Tomorrow (3 calendar days) are selectable.
Yes. Check-Mig covers both international arrivals ('Ingreso a Colombia') and international departures ('Salida de Colombia'). For departures, the accommodation step is automatically skipped.
The Check-Mig system requires a 4-digit numeric flight number without airline letters. If your flight number has fewer than 4 digits (e.g., AV 19 or AA 915), omit the airline code and pad with leading zeros (e.g., '0019' or '0915').
No. While Land, Maritime, and Fluvial icons appear on the screen, they are disabled in the official portal. Check-Mig is exclusively active for the 16 international air checkpoints.
No commercial service or private agency can guarantee border admission into Colombia. Final entry permission rests exclusively with border control and immigration officers at your port of entry. NomadicMart is an independent private application concierge not affiliated with the Government of Colombia or apps.migracioncolombia.gov.co. We verify your declaration data and submit it accurately within the official filing window.
