The fields where people get the official Check-Mig wrong, in form order.
The current CheckMig form exposes its five steps, field labels and a few visible instructions, but not readable regex, maxlength or validation attributes. These ten cards use only the live labels and Migración Colombia's public service guide. No hidden pattern is claimed.
§ Fields, in order
10 fields, 5 sections, 2–5 minutes total.
All sections
Showing 10 of 10
Step 1 · Type of journey
01
Entry or exit
Choose whether this movement is into Colombia or out of Colombia. Check-Mig covers both directions, but the current registration must match the trip being taken.
02
Transport type
Select the transport actually used. The live form displays air, land, maritime and river options.
Step 2 · Travel information
03
Immigration checkpoint
Choose the immigration checkpoint used for this entry or exit. For an air trip, use the airport where Colombian immigration control occurs.
04
Travel date
Use the date for this immigration movement. The visible control displays mm/dd/yyyy. File no earlier than 72 hours before travel and no later than one hour before.
05
Flight number, without letters
For air travel, enter the numeric flight number without the airline letters, following the live label. Use the current operating itinerary.
Step 3 · Personal data
06
Biographical information
Copy the biographical details from the valid passport or other travel document used for this movement. Visa information is separate and appears when applicable.
07
Contact information
Use contact details available during the trip. Migración Colombia sends the confirmation by email and provides an official download tool if the message is missing.
08
Purpose of travel
Select the real purpose. Check-Mig preloads interview data; it does not grant permission for work, study or another visa-controlled activity.
Step 4 · Accommodation
09
Accommodation in Colombia, when applicable
For an entry where accommodation applies, use the current lodging details in Colombia. Follow the live form when this section changes for the selected route.
Step 5 · Questions
10
Health questions
Answer the current health questions truthfully. Do not rely on an old screenshot; read the live questions shown for this trip.
§ After submit
What happens between hitting submit and getting through immigration.
01
Confirmation screen
The official site shows a confirmation on screen. Screenshot it — that's your backup.
02
Confirmation arrives by email
Migración Colombia says the confirmation normally arrives almost immediately. If it does not, use the official check-and-download tool.
03
At immigration
Save the near-immediate email confirmation or download the registration from CheckMig. Present it if requested during immigration control.
04
Save a download
Keep the confirmation offline before heading to immigration. The service page says it can be presented during control.
05
Check-Mig is not entry permission
It preloads interview data. Passport, visa when required and the immigration officer's decision remain separate.

· Archived snapshot
The current application shows five steps and several visible instructions. It does not expose readable regex, maxlength or validation attributes. Use the live controls and do not assume a format that is not shown.
1. Choose the current movement
Select travel to Colombia or travel from Colombia, then the real transport type. Check-Mig handles entry and exit; the selected direction must match this movement.
2. Match the itinerary
Choose the Colombian immigration checkpoint and current travel date. The visible date control displays mm/dd/yyyy. For an air journey, the field asks for the flight number without letters.
3. Copy personal and contact data
Use the valid travel document carried for this movement. Enter current contact details and the actual purpose. A visa, when required, remains separate.
4. Add accommodation when applicable
Use the lodging for this trip, not an address from an old registration. Follow the dynamic form if the selected direction or transport changes what is requested.
5. Read the current questions
Answer the questions shown for this journey. Review before submission: Migración Colombia says submitted data cannot be edited, so a mistake requires a new registration.
Save the confirmation email or download the record from the official app.
