Can I change the information submitted after my Check-mig Colombia has been approved?

Le Check-mig Colombia is a form required by the Colombian authorities for all travellers wishing to enter or leave the country. This document helps to facilitate and control people's entry to and exit from the country, and also helps to avoid immigration problems later on. But what happens if you realise that you made a mistake when submitting your form, or if you need to make changes after it has been approved?

Understanding the Check-mig Colombia process

To understand whether changes can be made to a form that has already been approved, it is important to understand the stages in the process:

1. Preparing the necessary documents

Before completing and submitting the online Check-mig form, you must ensure that you have all the required documents to hand. This includes your valid passport, a confirmed return flight ticket and any other relevant immigration documents such as a visa (depending on your nationality).

2. Completing and submitting the online form

Once you have prepared your documents, you can access the dedicated page on our website and complete the form by following the instructions. Make sure you fill in all the sections with accurate and complete information to avoid any mistakes.

3. Receipt of Check-mig approval

Once you have submitted the form, you will receive confirmation by e-mail that your request has been received by our services. You will then need to send us your documents. The Check-MIG will then be sent to you by e-mail, which you should print out and keep until your departure or arrival in Colombia.

Why it's crucial to provide accurate information when submitting a tender

Providing accurate and up-to-date information when submitting the Check-mig form is essential for several reasons. Firstly, it speeds up the approval process and avoids unnecessary delays. In addition, it reduces the risk of refusal of entry to Colombia in the event of errors or inconsistencies in the data provided.

Finally, errors or missing data can cause problems later on in your stay in Colombia. For example, if the migration authorities notice an error during a routine check, this could lead to penalties such as a fine (in the case of false declaration of major elements, for example).

Is it possible to change the information after approval?

The possibility of modifying the information submitted will depend largely on when the error or need for modification is detected.

Before the form is approved

If you notice an error during the completion process or before your application is approved, we recommend that you contact our team immediately by chat or email to inform them of the problem. We will modify your request internally. This is possible as long as your document has not yet been validated.

Once the form has been approved

If you detect an error after receiving approval for your Check-mig, the situation may be more complex. In general, it is advisable to contact Migracion Colombia for advice and to check whether it is possible to enter the country with this document or whether you will need to make a second application.

Tips for avoiding errors when filling in the Check-mig form

To minimise the risk of errors and the associated problems, it is important to follow these tips when submitting your Check-mig form:

Check each section of the form carefully

It may seem obvious, but it is essential to proofread every part of the form you fill in to avoid typographical errors.

Make sure you have all the required documents available before completing the form.

By having your passports and other documents to hand, you can ensure that you enter accurate information when filling in the form.
