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.
