Essential Travel Guide for Venezuelans Visiting Colombia

Everything Venezuelans visitors to Colombia need to know about the Check-MIG. The Check-MIG form gives the Colombian government travel and contact details for people, as well as health information relevant to COVID-19. It allows them to track people who enter the country, so they can ensure compliance with COVID rules. It also allows them to contact people who may have been exposed during travel. Travelers can find the Check-MIG form via the Colombian government’s app, or they can fill it out and submit it online. Either way, it should not be started more than 48 hours before travel to Colombia. This ensures that all information is up to date. It generally takes less than 24 hours to process the form once it is submitted, and many people receive notice that their form has been approved right away. The form will ask for details from the traveler’s passport, as well as for an email address and contact phone number. It may also ask questions about health, exposure to COVID, vaccination status, quarantine plans, previous travels, and more. Travelers should provide honest and accurate information. Once the Check-MIG has been approved, travelers can choose to print it out or simply show proof of approval electronically.

What Venezuelans need to cross the border into Colombia. Most of the time, Venezuelan citizens who want to enter Colombia as tourists only need to show a couple of documents in order to enter. The first of these is a valid Venezuelan passport. It should be valid for at least 6 months beyond the time of their entry into the country. Secondly, they need to show proof of onward or return travel. This cannot simply be a reserved plane ticket. Instead, they need to show that they have fully purchased a ticket on a form of transportation out of Colombia that leaves before their visa expires. If Venezuelan citizens are entering Colombia on a visa, they will also need to show this before they can enter.
