Le Check-mig<\/strong> is an essential tool for travellers wishing to visit Colombia or leave the country to visit its South American neighbours (or elsewhere). In this article, we'll explain how the Check-mig works.<\/p>\n To better control and monitor immigration and emigration, the Colombian government has set up an electronic system called the Check-mig<\/strong>. With this tool, travellers can register their personal information, obtain guidelines on entry and exit requirements, and thus facilitate their passage through border crossings and international airports.<\/p>\n Whether you wish to travel by land or by air, the Check-mig must be completed before your departure. The process is simple: go to our dedicated form, enter your personal details and print out the Check-Mig document, which will then be emailed to you. This document is essential for the customs authorities when you pass through border posts and international airports.<\/p>\n Each country has its own regulations governing the entry and exit of travellers. So it's vital to find out about the requirements in force in the country you want to visit. Conditions can vary depending on a number of factors, such as your nationality, the reason for your trip (tourism, business, study or other), and even the length of your stay.<\/p>\n Although access by land is still the preferred option because of its ease and economy, it can be subject to unforeseen circumstances. Land border crossings are often closed for unexpected events such as demonstrations or technical problems.<\/p>\n The other option, by air, saves a considerable amount of time and offers greater safety. However, you will need to adapt to the schedules and fares of the airlines serving Colombia's various neighbouring countries.<\/p>\n For several years now, Colombia has been experiencing an unprecedented migratory crisis, with the massive arrival of Venezuelans fleeing the political and economic crisis affecting their country. The partial closure of the border between the two countries is complicating travellers' journeys.<\/p>\n To enter Ecuador, travellers must now comply with certain strict rules linked to the global health situation. If you plan to pass through the Rumichaca border crossing, it remains open to pedestrians and vehicles.<\/p>\n Popularised by the famous Salkantay hiking trail, which leads all the way to Machu Picchu, the overland passage between Colombia and Peru has been booming in recent years. However, it is strongly recommended that you regularly check the state of the roads and border crossings, particularly in view of changing health measures.<\/p>\n For all these countries, it is vital to check the formalities required for your situation beforehand. The Check-MIG offered on our site is only valid for Colombia.<\/b><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Check-mig is an essential tool for travellers wishing to visit Colombia or leave the country to visit its South American neighbours (or elsewhere).
