At Servicio Legal S.A.S, we manage your complete application process: we review and prepare required documentation, provide expert advice on immigration requirements, and support your application until successful approval. The initial validity is 5 years, after which a transfer is necessary to maintain permanent residency indefinitely.
Essential documents for application include a valid passport, proof of economic means, continuous residency records, recent photograph, and specific documents such as naturalization letter or Temporary Protection Permit (PPT), if applicable.
Our service covers comprehensive legal advisory, meticulous document management, representation before immigration authorities, and constant status updates.
