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

I have not traveled to Colombia in a while. You might want to post your question in the Medellin Reports thread but as far as I can tell a lot of people are complaining that it takes a long time to get through immigration becuase so many people have not filled out the pre registration so I think it is still required but again you should post this question in the Medellin Reports thread. It is the busiest thread and the busiest city so you are most likely to get an answer there.

I purchased travel insurance from Trawick for a trip when Colombia opened after the Covid closure. I didn't have to use it. According to their website, they pay if you are quarantined. Their rates are very affordable, scaled by age.

FL, Just an update. I sent them an email with a question the day after our posts and still haven't gotten a reply. Seems a bit too slow. I'll give them a call and see what happens. Prices are reasonable as you said. CL.

Yep and non vaccinated cannot enter.

Just a thought. How is everyone verifying these vaccination cards? Understandable if its an obvious fake. Yet, what if you had an actual vaccination card that was filled out but never actually took the shot?

As of today, that is all the Covid stuff you need. You need to fill out the Check-mig form at https://apps.migracioncolombia.gov.c...eregistro.jsf..

I could not fill the form from my computer. The staff at the check-in desk told me to do it on my smartphone. It is a common issue. Also don't expect to USA in the drop-down menu it will Estados Unidos. 2 cents.

Thanks Fun Luvr, this is just what I was looking for. Better to have it and not need it then the other way around.

Will be headed down in another month or so and think it may be best to purchase insurance in case I get infected and need to stay isolated etc. And worst case hospital. Any of you guys have purchased a policy lately and can you give me a name of the company? Thanks! I did a search already and no answers my first time then tried new words but it tells me to wait and try again. I'll be searching all day.

Quick question. I got the J&J vaccine back in June. It was only one shot as you may know, so there was no need for a 2nd. I have my vaccination card as well, will I have any trouble getting into Colombia?

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.

Yep and non vaccinated cannot enter.

I also think this is what it said. The exception for non-vaccinated or those with less than 14 days since the second shot is only for Colombian residents and citizens, not for tourists. They can still get back in, or back home you might say, with the PCR test.

Which makes their policy almost exactly the same as the US. Anyone who is not a citizen or legal resident of US cannot fly in to the US without being fully vaccinated.

As of December 14,2021, all arrivals to Colombia must show proof of full vaccination. If a foreign tourist is only partially vaccinated, or 14 days have not yet passed since the final dose, they can still enter with a negative PCR test result taken no later than 72 hours prior to travel.

Traveler's Checklist.

Fill out the online pre-registration Migracion Colombia form called CheckMiG. Travelers will have to add all of the relevant information about their trip to the form, including how you will be traveling (air, land, sea) and your point of entry.

https://apps.migracioncolombia.gov.c...reregistro.jsf

The immigration form can be filled out 48 hours before your flight and up to one hour before the flight closes, according to the official website.

Show proof of full vaccination against Covid-19, with the last dose being administered at least 14 days before departure. According to the official Colombian government website, either paper or digital form works as proof.

Any traveler to Colombia that can't show proof of being full vaccinated, or 14 days has not yet passed since the final dose, they'll be required to provide a negative PCR test result for Covid, taken no later than 72 prior to departure. All documents for entry to Colombia must be provided at the airport pre-departure.
