The Dependent Visa in numbers
For those depending on the holder economically and legally. Apply from Colombia or your country.
Golden rule: dependents inherit the holder's plan — the higher your plan, the lower each family member's fee. And note: divorce, a child marrying or starting work voids it; then they need their own holder visa.
Dependent requirements
The file Cancillería expects to see — we build it together with the holder's, in one flow.
- Copy of your current holder visa: everything starts from it.
- Relationship record (marriage or birth certificate), apostilled and translated into Spanish if in another language.
- Holder's letter requesting the visa and declaring economic dependence, travel/stay expenses and health coverage for the dependent.
- Holder's financial proof: 6 months of statements or employment certification covering the whole family.

How we work: from the call to the cédula, zero chaos
A process designed so you never chase a paper or wonder what's next. Technology + senior lawyer, start to finish.
1Strategy consultation ($80)
Camila diagnoses your case on a call. The same day you get the minutes and your proposal with a confirmed plan, credited on hire.
2Sign & pay online
Digital signature on your proposal, automatic legal invoice and card payment (even in installments, per your plan).
3Instant Sofi access
Payment activates your case and you enter the portal with your code: questionnaires, templates and your checklist from your phone.
4AI does the legwork: extracts, drafts and reviews
No endless forms: AI does the heavy lifting — extracting your data, generating your templates and killing typos — and your lawyer applies final judgment before filing.
5Filing + real follow-up
We file in SITAC, track daily, answer requirements and alert you to every deadline. All in one file, not scattered chats.
6With you until the cédula
The process doesn't end with an approved visa: we guide you through registration, the appointment and getting your cédula. The same lawyer who welcomed you walks with you to the end.
Your peace of mind, by system: Sofi 24/7 · AI validating before filing · templates & examples · deadline reminders · direct WhatsApp with your lawyer · online invoicing & payments · the same senior from start to finish.
One number per plan. It inherits the holder's.
Dependents don't choose a plan: they follow yours. The higher your plan, the lower each family member's fee.

Straight answers, before you ask
Who can I bring?
Spouse or partner, children under 25 and — depending on your visa type — parents and dependent adults. All must depend on you economically and legally.
Does it last as long as mine?
Never longer than the holder's: if your visa expires or changes, your dependents' follow. That's why filing together pays off.
What if my child marries or works?
They lose dependent status and need their own holder visa. We anticipate it on the consultation so nobody falls irregular.
How long and from where do they apply?
Usually 2 to 5 weeks once filed. From Colombia or their country, 100% online and in parallel with yours.
Does everyone pay fees?
Yes: each dependent pays their study ($56), issuance and cédula ($294,000 COP), plus the reduced legal fee per your plan.
Do I need a lawyer if it's all online?
No platform requires counsel. But coordinating foreign records, economic dependence and parallel filings is where families lose months. We run it in one flow.
