Here is a general overview of the typical procedures for obtaining a dependent visa:

1. Eligibility assessment: The first step in the dependent visa process is determining if the family members meet the eligibility criteria set by the country’s immigration laws. This may include factors such as the relationship with the primary visa holder, age requirements, financial support, and other specific requirements.
2. Documentation preparation: Once eligibility is confirmed, the family members must gather and prepare the necessary documentation for the dependent visa application. This may include passports, birth certificates, marriage certificates, proof of relationship, financial statements, and other supporting documents as required by the country’s immigration authorities.
3. Visa application submission: The completed visa application, along with the supporting documents, will need to be submitted to the appropriate immigration authorities or consulate/embassy of the country where the primary visa holder resides. The application may be submitted online or in person, depending on the country’s procedures.
4. Biometric and medical requirements: In some cases, family members may be required to undergo biometric (fingerprint, photograph) and medical examinations as part of the dependent visa application process. This may vary depending on the country and specific visa category.
5. Visa processing and decision: Once the dependent visa application is submitted, it will be processed by the immigration authorities, which may take several weeks to months, depending on the country and workload. The authorities will review the application, verify the documents, conduct background checks, and decide on the visa application.
6. Visa issuance and travel: If the dependent visa application is approved, the family members will receive the dependent visa as a stamp in their passport or a separate visa document. They can then make travel arrangements to join the primary visa holder in the foreign country.
7. Arrival and residence: Upon arrival in the foreign country, the family members must comply with immigration laws and regulations, such as registering their presence with the local authorities, obtaining necessary permits or identification documents, and adhering to any visa conditions or restrictions.
