Still is Mig form required for an entry to Colombia?

The short answer is yes, although some airlines may not check.

You will go through immigration in Bogota. Bogota-Medellin is a domestic flight.

Thanks a lot!

I just saw a flight ticket for Medellin with a layover at Bogota airport (Atlanta-Bogota-Medellin).

Would I go through immigration at Bogota or Medellin (final destination)?

I don't like the immigration at Bogota airport.

I had my last / third shot 7 month ago. Is this fine to enter Colombia next month? It doesn't matter as long as it is older than 14 days?

Title: Travel within the last week.

"Did anyone have any trouble traveling to Colombia with just full vaccination and the card. I had a family friend who was denied boarding on a flight do to lack of pcr even tho they were fully vaccinated. They had to get the pcr and wait a few days. Not sure what happened. Has anyone traveled in the past week?

First I want to apologize to Mateocast98 - the "resond with quote" and "delete" buttons are next to each other and once I accidently delete a post there is no "undo" option. So I wend back using ther browser "back" button and copied and pasted the text and labeling of your post.

Can you be sure that it had been 14 days since their last shot; the instructions on the embassy web site read as follows:

For non-resident foreign travelers 18 years and older:

Vaccinated non-resident foreign travelers must present proof they have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19 for at least 14 days prior to travel.

If less than 14 days have elapsed or if the vaccination scheme is not complete, the traveler must present a PCR test with a negative result taken within 72 hours of boarding.

Unvaccinated non-resident foreign travelers will not be allowed to enter Colombia.

Did the area code for Medellin, or calling method, change recently? I dialed my hotel number preceded by 57-4, and it didn't work.

Basic Entry and Exit requirements for Colombia might be a good read for anyone who has not been to Colombia before. I do not see these chainging unless a particularly deadly covid varient develops. Go the page linked below at State and scroll down to Entry, Exit and Visa Requirements and click to open that section up. Basic info is there like how long you can stay and the fact that if you do not have a return ticket you may de denied entry into the country. And there is specific information for people who are actually entering with visas other than tourist reasons etc.

The one carry over thing that is left that was not there before Covid is this form one has to fill out. There were reports that people were saying it is useless because people do not check but others say they do and I suspect that when they do check it they are not telling you and you would have to be looking over the immigration officer's shoulder at their computer screen to know if they are checking that system against your passport when you hand it to them on arriving. Meaning that you are more likely to find out the hard way that they are checking when you have not filled it out.

This is still listed as an entry requirement to Colombia.

Travelers must complete Migracióand Colombia's online Check-Mig form within 72 hours of boarding an inbound or outbound flight from Colombia. If the normal form's website is down travelers can find a contingency website here.

I just called American Airlines & they said I would need to complete the Mig form 72 hours before departure.

AA checked my Check-mig both ways last month.

I asked the emigration lady as I left at the Medellin airport, cause no one asked for the MIG form Friday or Sunday. She said no, not needed any more.

I do not recall being asked for the form in January. Also it does not go beyond page 2. No fill in blanks are on page 3. And I am 48 hours from flight, inside the 72 hours. I will have to forget about continuing to try, again and again.

Try a different internet browser.

The immigration agent hasn't asked for the Check-mig form in a while. Sometimes the airline will ask for it. It takes less than five minutes to complete and receive confirmation, so I don't take chances. They do check vaccination cards at departure and at immigration. I always show them the card, so I don't know if an electronic copy is acceptable. I go through immigration in MDE very fast, but I arrive around 5pm and there are no other airlines arriving at that time.

Still required? Do they inspect vaccination cards now? Is it enough to have a digital photo of it on my phone?
