Colombia Visa & Check-MIG Processing Time

Colombia asks travellers to apply at least 4 days before arrival. Government processing usually takes 3–5 days, but governments do not guarantee a decision date, so apply as early as you can — applications are accepted well ahead of travel.

Our Standard, Rush and Emergency options set how quickly we review and file your application; the decision itself remains with the Colombia government. Whichever you choose, we tell you the date your visa is guaranteed by — on time or your money back.

Questions & Answers

How much does a Colombia Check-MIG cost?

▼
On a US passport the government fee is $0.00 and our service fee starts at $69.00, so a standard application totals $69.00. Government fees are set by Colombia and vary by nationality and visa type.

Why is there a service fee on top of the government fee?

▼
The government fee is paid to Colombia. Our fee covers checking your photo, passport details and supporting documents against the current rules before the application is filed — the errors that cause most rejections — plus tracking and support until your visa is issued.

What happens if my application is refused?

▼
Our service fee is refunded if we cannot deliver your approved visa. Where the refusal is caused by an error on our side we correct and resubmit at no extra charge. Government fees are not refundable once an application has been filed.

How long does a Colombia Check-MIG take?

▼
Government processing normally takes 3–5 days. Colombia asks travellers to apply at least 4 days before arrival, and no government guarantees a decision date — apply as early as you can.

How do I apply for a Colombia Check-MIG online?

▼
Complete our application form — it takes most travellers five to ten minutes — and upload your passport page and photo. A specialist reviews everything before submission, files it on the government portal, and emails your approved visa.

What documents do I need for a Colombia Check-MIG?

▼
A passport valid for at least six months on the date you arrive, a recent digital photograph that meets Colombia's specification, and a scan of your passport biographical page. Business and medical applications also need supporting paperwork such as an invitation or hospital letter.

What are the Colombia Check-MIG photo requirements?

▼
A recent, front-facing colour photograph with a plain white background, no glasses and no head covering except for religious reasons. Photo problems are one of the most common causes of refusal, so we check yours against the current specification before filing.

Can I apply for my whole family at once?

▼
Yes. Set the number of travellers in the pricing panel and we manage the applications together so names, dates and documents stay consistent across the group.

How do I use my Colombia Check-MIG at the airport?

▼
Carry a printed copy of your approved visa PDF along with your passport. Immigration scans it at the counter; some airlines also check it before boarding, so have it printed before you get to the airport.

What else do I need to enter Colombia?

▼
To enter Colombia you also need: Check-MIG – formulario de registro migratorio (Migración Colombia).

Can I extend my Colombia Check-MIG?

▼
No. Colombia does not extend this visa — you must leave the country and apply again.

What are the Colombia overstay penalties?

▼
Around $8 per day overstayed. Overstaying can also mean a multi-year entry ban and removal, and it is recorded against future applications.
