Arrival cards and declarations: Check-Mig pre-registration

72 hours

Migración Colombia's free Check-Mig service is not mandatory: travellers entering or leaving Colombia may pre-load their trip details from 72 hours up to one hour before travel, which substantially speeds up the immigration interview, and the confirmation received by email can be shown at the control.

Registration after arrival

Hotels, guesthouses, hostels, aparthotels, campsites and other lodging providers keep a daily register of foreign guests (full name, nationality, identity document, date of birth, gender, profession, place of origin, destination, and arrival and departure dates). They report the final arrivals and departures of foreigners to Migración Colombia daily, by the means set for that purpose. Failing any of these obligations gives rise to economic sanctions. SIRE is Migración Colombia's official tool for reporting the lodging of foreigners.

Overstay penalties

30 days

Under Decree 1067 of 2015, a foreigner who remains in Colombia after the term granted in their visa or permit has expired is in irregular stay and is deported, unless special circumstances justify a fine, which is set between 26.31 and 210.50 tax value units (UVT). A deported foreigner may return only after the period set in the deportation decision, between six months and ten years, and with a visa. Migración Colombia may let a foreigner who entered regularly and has been in irregular stay for no more than 30 days leave on a late-stay permit after acknowledging responsibility.
