INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS RECOMMENDATIONS
Foreign passengers entering Colombia must present an electronic vaccination certificate with a complete vaccination schedule and application of the second dose at least 14 days before the date of entry into the country. If they have received only the first dose of the vaccine and the second dose has been administered for less than 14 days, they must show a negative result of a PCR test performed up to 72 hours before shipment. In addition, before departure, you will have to fill in the Check-Mig form and register your health through the CoronApp application (to be downloaded on the main platforms).
