Subsanacion - Submitting documents

How to upload documents additionally requested by Migraciones

During the internal review of any application submitted via the Migraciones Agencia Digital, Migraciones may determine that a required document is missing, that an uploaded document does not meet their requirements, or that an additional document is needed. In such cases, you will receive a notification in your Buzón Electrónico informing you of the issue and instructing you to submit the missing or corrected document.

The procedure used to submit documents after such a request is called Subsanación. Depending on the type of application you submitted, there are two different ways to provide the requested documents:

  • via the Subsanación option on the Agencia Digital, or
  • via the Mesa de Partes.

Which option applies depends on the administrative procedure you originally applied for.

Submitting documents on the Agencia Digital

Introduction:

For most applications, using the Agencia Digital is the correct and intended way to submit additional documents requested by Migraciones.

So, if you applied for

  • a temporary or resident visa (specifically a Cambio de Calidad Migratoria),
  • a visa extension,
  • the renewal of your carné, or
  • a similar standard procedure

and Migraciones sends you a notification stating that a document is missing, unreadable, incomplete, or not submitted in the required form (for example, missing an Apostille or a translation), then you must upload the requested document via the Subsanación option on the Agencia Digital.

The process is straightforward and explained step by step below.

Please note:

Read the notification from Migraciones very carefully. In most cases, you are given only five (5) days to submit the requested document.

Notifications sent to your Buzón Electrónico are considered officially delivered. If you fail to respond within the given deadline, your application may be dismissed.

So, don’t waste time: prepare the requested document as a PDF (maximum size: 3 MB) and submit it as soon as possible.

If you applied for a visa (specifically a Cambio de calidad migratoria) or for a visa extension and you are unable to submit the document within the deadline, you must still respond. In this case, you can request an extension of time to submit the document later. This procedure is called Solicitud de ampliación de plazos and is explained in our article "Extension of a Migraciones deadline".

If Migraciones asks you to submit an additional document during the internal evaluation of an immigration-related application, you are usually give...

    I am having trouble both submitting my documents, and completing the questionnaire. I have everything in pdf file format. It just does not recognize the document. It does not seem to recognize the payment I made through pay also. The message I get is “ el recibo no existe en la base de datos” I am certain they have my payment. I get to the end of the questionnaire, and it will not let me continue. 4 times the data has been wiped , and only after 20 minutes not 30. I hope someone can help me

      Hello Jeff,

      What are you trying to do? Apply for a visa? The page you are commenting on is explaining the process of submitting documents when you already applied for a visa, for example, and Migraciones requests a missing document. So, if you want to apply for a visa, best check out our visa pages, select the visa type and you find detailed explanations of the whole application process and lots of useful other information.

      Anyway, as you seem to have problems with nearly everything, here some tips that hopefully help.

      Before you try to enter the Agencia Digital again, best clear your cache and file registry. Then do not to use a translation program which automatically translates the page from Spanish to your preferred language to avoid system errors. And to avoid further system errors, do not to use a VPN and switch off any ad blockers or an incognito mode you might use.

      Then, payments made on pagalo.pe sometimes take an hour or so until the payment is processed. So, give it a bit of time before you fill in, for example, your visa application and before you enter the details of the receipt on the Agencia Digital. 

      If you use pagalo.pe at night, on Sundays or public holidays the processing of the payment might take until the next business day. Additionally, make sure that you made the payment using the same name as in your passport / as in your application and that you used the correct authority, code and concept. You find an explanation how pagalo.pe works in our article Paying administration charges and processing fees in Peru.

      Furthermore make sure you entered the correct numbers. The numero de recibo (number of the receipt) asked on the Agencia Digital is the "secuencia de pago" on the pagalo receipt, the codigo de verficación (verification code) is the "codigo control" on the pagalo receipt and the fecha de recibo (date) is the "fecha de operación" on the pagalo receipt.

      And yes, you only have 20 minutes to fill in the data questionnaire. If you missed one obligatory field the system won't let you finalize the questionnaire. So make sure you fill in all fields. If nothing changed, at one point there is a small link to upload your recibo. If you can't make it work, try to apply without having filled in the questionnaire. Others, who had problem with it, could do so.

      Last but not least, make sure each PDF has a max size of 3MB. If it's larger, the system won't accept it.

      Greetings

      Hello Juan,

      yes, upload the three documents that you already have now. Then, if necessary, apply for the "ampliación de plazos" for the other two.

      Hello Richard,

      I'm confused and need some clarification.

      You are trying to a apply for a "Cambio de calidad migratoria residente permanente"? So, you already lived in the country for at least three years on a residence visa, for example a work or family visa, and now want to change that to the permanent residence visa?

      If so, not sure where the problem is, you don't need to download any information online. You have to apply for it on the Agencia DIgital and upload your documents.

      And who is "the agency". Are you using a lawyer or tramitador to apply for you? What you are told doesn't make any sense.

      Or are you trying to apply for a resident visa, make a so-called "Cambio de calidad migratoria", for example, familiar residente, trabajador residente, ... But still it's not necessary to download any information online.

      So, what visa are you trying to apply for, which agency is involved and for what reason does this agency needs to download your information?

      Please let me know.

      Greetings
      Eva

      @Sunflower I was married in April, and am a US citizen.  I am applying for Permanent Residency.  I had applied in June but my time expired and now I need to reapply.  I am using an agency called Dream Travel and she stated that at this time she could not upload the files to Agencia Digital.  She states that they are not accepting uploads at this time.  I hope that is more clearer and thanks for the response.

      Hello Richard,

      I never heard of Dream Travel and when I googled them I only found a tour operator. Anyway, honestly I'm not sure what they are doing.

      First of all, you can't apply for a permanent residency (visa residente permanente) at this point, because you must have lived in Peru on another resident visa for at least three years before you can switch to the permanent resident visa.

      As you are married to a Peruvian I assume you want to apply for a family visa, a "visa familiar de residente" and in your case "casado con peruana". The procedure is called "cambio de calidad migratoria". The whole process is explained in our Family visa article.

      I don't know why the agency tells you that they can't upload your documents. The Agencia Digital has its ups and downs and a few hiccups here and there but uploading the documents is a simple and straightforward process.

      So, I'm thinking that something else isn't correct and just want to clarify: did you or the agency apply in June for you? Or couldn't you apply because your stay as a tourist ran out?

      If you applied in June

      If you or the agency already applied in June, you should have been aware that as soon as your application was submitted and you got the confirmation of your application including the file number your time as a tourist stopped. Even if during the evaluation and approval process your stay as a tourist expires, you are still legal in the country as your application is in process and you don't have to leave the country.

      Additionally, if your application was submitted back in June, it might still be active. Did the agency give you a file number(numero de tramite or numero de expediente)? If so, check on the Migraciones website "Consulta de estado de tramite", if your application is probably still pending or was approved or dismissed.

      So, in case your June application is still pending (or was approved), then you or the agency, of course, can't apply again. You or the agency should check your Buzon electronico immediately to see if Migraciones send any notifications and then go from there (it might be possible to continue with the application or the application first must be canceled before you can re-apply).

      If you didn't apply in June

      However, if you or the agency didn't apply in June, then I recommend entering the Agencia Digital yourself to check what's going on, because the statement of the agency doesn't make any sense. 

      For this just visit our Family visa article and follow the Step-by-step guide to apply for a family visa. Each page is explained in detail, so you won't have any problems trying it out on your own. If you get an error message or are stuck somewhere, let me know, so I can hopefully understand what's going on. On the 2nd page of the family visa application you can upload your documents. Just check if you can do so. If yes, then the agency probably doesn't know what they are doing and you should either continue with the application on your own and finish the application or stop at this point, talk to the agency and find a solution with them.

      All the best.

      Greetings

      Hello Richard,

      that's great news.

      I hope everything works smoothly from now on. I heard that appointments for getting the biometric data taken are hard to get at the moment. So, if the agency didn't get one for you already, try to secure one as soon as possible.  

      All the best.
