Is applying for permanent residence cheaper for minor children?

State fees and the cost of assistance for a minor depend on the chosen procedure and current rates.

Immigration and documents

Answer

State fees and the cost of assistance for a minor depend on the chosen procedure and current rates. The child still needs their own set of documents, so check the requirements for the birth certificate, parental consent, and translation in advance.

The child still has their own documents, a separate case, and their own cédula. You will need a passport, a birth certificate, documents confirming parentage, medical or vaccination records, and the consent of the other parent if that parent is not present.

The family’s actual costs consist of several parts: government payments, apostilles, translations, medical expenses, professional services, travel, and document delivery. Even if handling a child’s case is cheaper, errors in a record or consent form can delay the entire family’s application package.
