Colombia Check-Mig, the free form, and how to spot the sites pretending to be it.

Check-Mig preloads trip information before Colombian immigration control. Migración Colombia says the service is free and optional. It is available to Colombian and foreign travellers entering or leaving the country.

Use the application on apps.migracioncolombia.gov.co. A paid Check-Mig seller is not collecting a Colombian government fee.
