Check-Mig is Colombia’s mandatory free online pre-registration, completed between 72 hours and 1 hour before every flight into or out of the country. It is required even for visa-free visitors.

Does Colombia offer a visa on arrival?

No. There is no visa on arrival — visa-free nationals simply complete Check-Mig, while visa-required travellers must apply at a consulate or online before departure.

What documents do I need?

A passport valid for your stay, completed Check-Mig registration, proof of onward or return travel and proof of accommodation. We review each document before you travel.

How long can I stay in Colombia?

Visa-free visitors can stay up to 90 days, extendable for a further 90 days (up to 180 days per year) at Migración Colombia.

Planning a trip to Colombia? Most travellers can now skip the embassy queue and apply for the Colombia Tourist Entry entirely online. VisitsVisa fills the government form for you, checks every document, and delivers your approved visa by email — usually within 4 days. Most international travellers need a Colombia Tourist Entry before they arrive, and the fastest way to get one is to apply for your Colombia visa online rather than queuing at an embassy. Start with a quick eligibility check and we confirm the exact route and documents for your nationality and country of residence.

How do I apply for a Colombia visa online?

Applying for a Colombia Tourist Entry with VisitsVisa takes minutes. Complete one simple online form, upload your passport and photo, and pay securely. Our visa experts review every detail against the latest Colombia immigration rules before your application is submitted, which is the single biggest thing you can do to avoid a rejection. Once approved, your Colombia eVisa is emailed to you — there is nothing to collect and no embassy visit — and you can track your Colombia visa application live from any device until it lands in your inbox.

How much does a Colombia visa cost?

A Colombia Tourist Entry costs $60 through VisitsVisa. The $60 price is all-inclusive — the government fee and our service fee are already bundled in, so there are no hidden charges at checkout. Every traveller on the trip — including children and infants — needs their own Colombia visa, and you can add multiple applicants to a single order and pay together in one checkout.

How long does Colombia visa processing take?

Standard Colombia visa processing usually takes 4 days. If you are travelling soon, choose Express at checkout and we prioritise your application, with delivery typically within 24 hours. We recommend applying a few days before departure so your Colombia eVisa is confirmed well ahead of your flight.

How long is a Colombia visa valid and how long can I stay?

The Colombia Tourist Entry permits a stay of Up to 90 days and is valid for 3 months from issue (single or multiple entry). Make sure your passport has at least six months of validity remaining from your date of arrival, as this is the most common reason Colombia applications are refused.
