Dependent Residency

The HN-DEP Dependent Residency visa is designed to facilitate the reunification of families by allowing minor children and dependent spouses to accompany a principal visa holder residing in Honduras. This classification recognizes the importance of family unity for foreign nationals who have established legal residency in the country through other categories, such as employment, investment, or independent means. By providing a structured pathway for dependents, the Honduran immigration system ensures that families can remain together during their stay, provided they meet the necessary criteria for dependency and legal status.

To apply for this residency, the principal applicant must provide formal documentation verifying the familial relationship, such as marriage certificates for spouses or birth certificates for minor children. These documents are subject to strict verification standards and must be apostilled or officially authenticated in the country of origin to be recognized by Honduran authorities. Fees for this process vary depending on the specific circumstances of the case and the number of dependents involved, and applicants should be prepared to work with local legal counsel to ensure all submissions meet the requirements of the National Institute of Migration.
