Thanks, but I am also locked out from that site too.

I have a "Plan be" in place. The lady who is hosting my Airbnb, has a sister that is a travel agent. She will fill the form out for me and use my alternate email address so that I can print off the paperwork when it hits my inbox at this end. I've given her all the necessary details, and I am now waiting to take my PCR test on Saturday.

Thanks in advance!

Before I decided to go Airbnb, I made inquiries with some hotels, and it appears that the booking is dedicated to the girl you sign in with. If you get rid of the original girl, most will require you to make a new booking or pay a joiner fee. I am still a virgin regarding Colombia, so it is best that you check directly with the hotel, but as I understand it, you will not have any probs as long as you are monogamous.

You make the registration with your name and her name on the registration then show up with your respective IDs and you should be good to go.

That's what I figured, was just making sure. I will probably get an apartment as well so I can entertain visitors.

I am in the same boat as you: a 1st time refugee from SEA, and the perceived wisdom seems to be that you are more likely to find success with Airbnb. But ypu will need to clarify with the hosts in advance.

Look through recent posts on this section, and there is plenty of advice from regular mongers.

Thanks but I am talking about 4 or 5 star hotels. I am sure there are some hotels who allow guests. I looked on the video and one he showed looked okay 2 star.

I used the link Jetblue provided me in their email.

Entry requirements and required documents for Colombia:

• All travelers to Colombia must complete an online immigration / customs form prior to departure. Please be ready to display proof of your completed form during the boarding process. Click here to access the form.

Select "Makeyour Check Mig" and proceed.

Click on the link, and it takes you direct to a page asking for a password.

This link: https://apps.migracioncolombia.gov.c...rarUsuario.jsf asks your nationality and then gives 4 passport options including "passport" and "official passport". It also includes Diplomatic passports which suggests that the other two passports mentioned have nothing to do with Diplomatic.

And if you look at this site: https://apps.migracioncolombia.gov.c...reregistro.jsf it apparently has seven different types of passport listed.

I really don't make this stuff up.

There are different types of passports. Government employees and people that work at embassies have official and diplomatic passports.

Recognize your password? No idea what you are talking about. There is no password needed for the site. Maybe it is different for me because I think the app is on my phone and I am not using a website. Download the app and see how that works out for you.

Checked my spam folder, nothing. So, I went back and tried to do it again but the site would not let me. On the 2nd time, I decided to take screen shots of what I was doing, then printed them out.

At the local airport where I live, the AA airline agent would not let me board the plane without the email from migracion. I started to argue with him and showed him my screen shots. After a while, he somehow decided to let me in. After that it was a breeze. I flew through Miami and nobody asked me for any proof. When I arrived in Colombia, I simply handed out the printout of my screen shots, and the agent stamped my passport and I was on my way.

Once in Colombia, I learned that everybody else was doing it via their smart phone and hardly anyone used their desktop / laptop. So, I assumed that was my problem. I figured the app was designed for smart phones and that it doesn't work well with desktop agents. I never had a problem since, as I switched to using my Iphone instead.

I am glad to hear that my experience is not unique. However if you check the post by Gene Hickman #11341, you will see that he says it's the phone app that is the problem and he recommends using the web browser.

I think you were lucky with the AA airline agent. He would have been within his rights to refuse you, but I am delighted that you had a happy ending.

I can't follow your screenshot advice because I am still locked out by my rejected password.

I strongly suspect that there is more than one app, and I have fallen foul of the "rogue".

3. I am sure on the way from the airport get the taxi guy cruise around and find a girl and check in together.

Now that going to Asia is pretty much not possible this year I am thinking of going to Cartagena. Not much interested in staying at air be&be.

Like high end hotels and get a girl and stay together and maybe travel around. I have done this in Costa Rica.
