Colombia Migration (Spanish: Migración Colombia) is Colombia's customs agency responsible of monitoring and carrying out migratory control within the framework of national sovereignty and in accordance with the law.
After the dissolution of the Administrative Department of Security, which was also in charge of migratory services, the Colombian Government, under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, created Migración Colombia in order to carry out the customs and migration enforcement tasks.
