K1 Fees due at Embassy (Bogota) Interview

[pirateradio 0]

A little confused on the fee's required...

The embassy site and guides say: "Each applicant must pay the equivalent of US$350 in Colombian pesos at the Banco Helm prior to your interview".

3 Questions:

Q1: Do you pay this at a Banco Helm site in Bogota the day before or days before the interview (our interview is Dec 9) or do you pay that on interview day at the embassy?

Q2: Is a K2 dependent considered a second applicant (with its associated $350 fee), or do you just pay for the primary K1 applicant?

Q3: I have read when a visa approved, that they tell you to go a window and pay something - what are you paying for at point? A different fee?

Confused.. appreciate any advise..

A1: There is a list of Banco Helm branches on the embassy website where you can pay the Visa fees. They affix a sticker to your forms.

Q2: Is a K2 dependent considered a second applicant (with its associated $350 fee), or do you just pay for the primary K1 applicant?

A2: Yes, the K2 is an additional applicant with an additional fee to be pais at Banco Helm.

Q3: I have read when a visa approved, that they tell you to go a window and pay something - what are you paying for at point? A different fee?

A3: Yes, you go to the window to pay the delivery service to deliver your passports with Visas and your sealed medical records.

Good Luck... The interview in Bogota was straightforward based on your relationship.

Q1: You can pay at any bank branch in any city, and better if you pay before your interview date

Q2: you pay for each visa applicant (so, you have to pay $350 x 2)

Q3: if your visa is approved, the consul keeps the passports and you must pay in Domesa and days later they delivery them at your home. The fee is almost US$30
