***Be sure you ask at
immigrations about your visa as rules and fees seem to change often. You now need an appointment in order to go to immigration. Make the "derecho de tramite" payment in order to schedule your appointment right away.***
I've been asked a handful of times about the
family visa option. Since this is a family visa, someone in your family can sponsor you. Who they consider family might vary from immigration officer to immigration officer and you might need to get a lawyer to help you with complicated cases. Below you can find out who can get this visa and who might be able to get this visa. If you think you qualify, you can find out what documents you need in
this post or by contacting
migraciones.
You can get this visa if you are . . .
- An underaged child of a Peruvian citizen (if the child isn't Peruvian) or immigrant
- Married to a Peruvian or immigrant
You might also be able to get the visa if you are . . . - A parent of a Peruvian child (whether they are a minor or of age) or immigrant
- A parent of a Peruvian child and the child has special needs
- A sibling of a Peruvian citizen or immigrant
- In-laws of a Peruvian citizen or immigrant
- An adult child of a Peruvian citizen or immigrant
Family might be your children, your siblings, your parents, or your in-laws. The issue is that they should be able to support you. Since children born in Peru can get citizenship via jus soli (meaning that anyone born on Peruvian soil can become Peruvians), children might be able to sponsor their parents. However, this doesn't mean that your infant can sponsor you. In most cases, the person must be financially stable (an example of an exception would be a child with special needs). If your child is a minor who earns money, for example, an actor than that would be a different story. A child who is of age and had a job should also be able to sponsor their parents. When in doubt, contact a lawyer or
migraciones.
