My phone's data connection works great, except when I really need it.

Haha that's always the case!

My buddy said I got lucky. He said he was asked for it last week. Other people here have reported not being asked for it as well. So again like you said, better to have it and not need it. Only takes 2 minutes to fill out.

Avianca wouldn't let me in line to check in at JFK without filling out the ChkMig app. Do it 48 hours before your flight. Doing it at the airport is a PITA.

Interesting, I've been asked by the airline agents each time I've exited Colombia.

You're probably right, you'll most likely be ok without it, until the one time they ask for it, then you'll have to do it real quick.

Obviously do what you want, however, since it's technically required, I just get it done, and not worry about surprises.

I wouldn't post that it's not required though, because it actually is, just not enforced much it seems in your experience.

Plus it only takes 2 minutes and you can do it up to 48 hours in advance. I'd rather spend 2 minutes filling out a form I might not be asked for than to deal with the possibility I will have problems filling it out if I am asked.

Yes there has always been an exit option on the website / app, but nobody ever asks for it on exit. It is only needed when entering the country. I made sure NOT to fill it out the week before last on exit just to be sure.

Hmmm I would recheck that info.

You do not need check mig to leave Colombia, only to enter.

They asked me Check Mig to fly from Colombia to my country. But there is a public computer at Airport where you can fill the Check Mig and if you have any problems, there is a woman next to it to help people fill it out.

[Mr Enternational]

Make sure you have check mig, usa attestation, and negative covid test before getting boarding pass.

At airport in medellin, the covid testing cost 90 k antigen. Cash only. Pcr 240 k. Results texted to you within an hour. Didn't ask but sign says testing is open 24 hours. Pretty efficient.

Make sure you have check mig, usa attestation, and negative covid test before getting boarding pass. You can print them out at the airport papeleria if need be.

Roasting all day and night.

Doom out.

This is surprising. Are you sure it did not end up in your Junk email folder?

I've flown down twice this year and JetBlue makes sure to send the email notifying of filling out the form They would not let me check my bag unless I showed them the email conformation the form was completed and they checked again before allowing me to board the plane. I've never flown Avianca but it should be similar for them as well.

I checked all my email folders and at no time did Aviaca notify of check-mig, nor in any of their messages regarding the flight. I booked a flight from Colombia to Mexico with Viva Aerobus and there was a prominent notice about the Colombian Check-Mig in their confirmation purchase email. I don't take checked bags so that hurdle did not trigger for me.

I would advise you to have the actual card, same as you have to have your actual passport. Several people have to verify it and not just one. Just because one entity accepts a photo, it does not mean the next will. The airline told somebody that I know that a photo would not be accepted in Peru, but when I entered Peru the day before I showed the lady in immigration the card on my phone and had no problem. Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

Thank you. I guess I'll bring the physical copy.

[Mr Enternational]

Do they accept a photo of your vaccination card or do you have to carry the actual card?

Don't know. You would have to check with your airline. I have mine on my phone, but I'm not from the US.
