Colombian Beneficiary Visa
A beneficiary visa is granted to the spouse, permanent companion, parents and children under twenty-five (25) years of age who are economically dependent on the holder, following proof of the bond or kinship and economic dependence. Children over twenty-five (25) years old with a disability that cannot support themselves can hold a visa as a beneficiary, in which case the beneficiary can only work in the household or study; no other occupations are permitted. The period of validity of the beneficiary visa issued may not exceed that of the visa issued to the holder and thus will expire at the same time as it.
This is a Colombian visa with a duration equal to that of the holder’s visa. The requirements to obtain it are as follows:
- Original, valid passport.
- 2 photos (3cm x 4cm) on a white background.
- Deed or civil record of marriage or birth demonstrating the bond or kinship, duly legalized or apostilled and translated as the case may be.
- The holder’s current visa.
