Family Reunification in Spain

Brings a spouse, children, or other qualifying dependents onto a Spanish resident's existing status — coordinated so the whole household lands together instead of staggered across separate filings.

Who this is for

Anyone already holding, or actively filing for, Spanish residency who wants to bring immediate family: a spouse or registered partner, minor children, and in some cases dependent parents or adult children unable to support themselves.

Family Reunification Spain requirements

The sponsor's own residency must be established or clearly on track.
Proof of sufficient income or means to support the additional family members.
Adequate housing, typically confirmed through a housing-suitability report.
Proof of the family relationship — marriage or birth certificates, apostilled and translated.

Timing it with your own filing

Where the route allows it, we file family reunification in parallel with the sponsor's own visa rather than waiting for it to be approved first, so the household's timeline stays as close together as possible.

Family Reunification: questions

Can parents be included?

In specific circumstances — generally where they're genuinely dependent on the sponsor and there's no one else to care for them in the country of origin. This is assessed case by case.

Do children need to be minors?

The standard route covers minors; dependent adult children can sometimes qualify if they can't support themselves due to a health condition.

Does each family member get their own card?

Yes, each approved dependent receives their own residence card tied to the sponsor's status.

What happens next

Arriving together depends on when each person files. A Private Strategy Session plans your application and theirs as one sequence, with schools and housing on the same timeline.
