I am trying to fill the check mig form. When I select origin, no option to select USA. Any idea?

Also what happens if I don't fill this. Would there be any issue in boarding? Or extra time at BOG airport?

Look for the Spanish version of "United States", which is "Estados Unidos".

I think it depends on the airline if you would have an issue boarding, but almost assuredly you will have an issue going through immigration in Colombia.

From the CDC website:

"Travel Requirements have changed. Starting December 6, all air passengers, regardless of vaccination status, must show a negative COVID-19 test taken no more than 1 day before travel to the United States. ".

They don't specify if it is 24 hours before travel, or anytime during the day before travel. Hopefully, it is like the prior 3-day requirement when it was anytime during the previous 3 days, not 72 hours.

Biden advisors just trying to exert more control over the people. Here is what he read from his teleprompter "We're going to fight this variant with science and speed, not chaos and confusion". That is a bunch of BS. Why is he not requiring tests of people crossing the Southern border?

I can think of a few reasons.

1. Commercial traffic. Many of those trucks cross the border several times each day. The delays would grind commercial transport to a halt.

2. Many of the people crossing, cross daily, for work, shopping or other business. At busy border crossings it's unlikely enough testing capacity is available.

3. Incubation period. There's a delay between exposure and when a person will test positive. With a high percentage of land border crossings by people who have been out of the country less than a day, testing wouldn't be very effective.

Curious why you're only concerned about the southern border? There's a northern border as well and a lot of people are crossing it every day.

It's because the list is translated from Spanish. Look for United States in the "E's", for Estados Unidos.

I think it is bcos when you cross a border by air you are a risk to fellow passengers in the airport, taxies, buses, plane, restaurants etc. But when you cross a border in your own car, you are a risk to no one. The idea is to lower the risk of infection to fellow passengers. I could be wrong of course, just my idea.

Might be a good idea to have an N95 mask when transiting airports anywhere. As I was leaving Cali one huge douche checking passports / boarding passes decided he was a mask expert and would not allow me to go on to immigration. Mine was black and looked quite similar to others. I had to go to the pharmacy to buy a POS paper mask that was not N95, which did not even survive the plane ride before the string broke.

Does anyone know where I can get a PCR test for Covid in Cartagena? The US gov't list has dead links, some live, but their websites don't list Cartagena. Thanks in advance.

Speaking as someone with experience in both countries I have bad news- you will find it a real challenge to get anything beyond an uncovered blowjob in Colombia. Some cities are worse than others- steer clear of Bogota. A fellow ISG monger had pretty good luck getting BBFS this past summer in Medellin, but it was mostly with SA girls that often flaked or otherwise required an inordinate amount of BS and wasted time. There really is nothing like AC for getting that hot raw, CIP. Thailand is much much better than South America, but doesn't quite match. The Medellin thread is full of Medellin lovers who will talk it up big time, but they generally like fat ass girls or just have never been to SEA and have no means of comparison.

Thanks for that post. Hopefully it will discourage some of the SEA mongers from going to Medellin.

I just took a PCR, and does anyone know if the antigen is sufficient to return?

An antigen test is sufficient to return to the US.

I just took a PCR, and does anyone know if the antigen is sufficient to return? Some guy posted here (I can't find it, or just to lazy) that he tested positive, and bolted to Tijuana to cross at the border. How is that possible because the clinic wanted my itinerary, passport info, address and vax card info. How did he leave? I fully expect the health dept. To show up at my door, or snatch me up if I leave if I test positive.

Antigen is sufficient to return to the Yew Ess. The guy you referred to tested positive at the airport and not at a clinic, so that was the difference.

LOL. Just like I say on the Sosua thread. Go somewhere else to see what a terrible mongering place Sosua really is. My first time on LatinAmericanCupid I said I got to learn some Spanish. Almost 17 years later and I have not looked back. Still on the site enjoying life.

I bought a girl a beer in Sosua and she acted like she owned me. Went away in a huff. That was 2007. Colombian Cupid has not impressed at all. Hotties I aim for don't reply and I get grandmas hundreds of miles away making a play for the Gunz. Yeah, I still got it! Tinder is my honey trap, joven single mommies are so thirsty!

BBFS can be done. I managed to get 3 on my first trip this year but it was allot of duds form the ones I wanted. I found it to be a certain age range on the apps. Anything over 25 will give trouble because they are on hardcore puta mode. On my second trip I didn't even have to ask them when I told them I was back, they already knew. On my third now and it's rinse and repeat.

Just make sure they show up with a clean test.

If you can share some BBFS girls with me, I would really appreciate that brother. I would contribute to the boards by sharing my reviews of them I'm going to Colombia in January and want to have some really openminded experiences. Thank you!

I was actually in Bogota when I tested positive, in a hotel by the airport. I didn't try to walk around outside and for most of the quarantine didn't feel like getting out. For about 10 days just walking to the bathroom was a struggle.

For food I ordered from the hotel restaurant. They bagged everything up, put it on a cart parked blocking my door and stood across the hall until I retrieved the food.

Before returning to the US I had to get a certificate of recovery, because you can test positive for up to 3 months after getting infected. I found a medical service online and they sent a doctor to my hotel room to check me out and give me the certificate. Cost was 150 k. Once I had that I was able to get out. At the airport I had to show both the certificate and the positive test result.

The hotel wouldn't even allow anyone in to clean the room. Instead they dropped off a crate with cleaners, sheets, towels, sanitizing wipes and masks.

The hotel was fabulous. Every day the manager would call to ask how I was feeling, and whenever I ordered room service they would ask how I felt. They even put a little handmade get well card in with my food. Without even asking, as soon as I informed them I needed to quarantine they dropped the room price from $71 to $59 per night.
