Family reunification
Family reunification in Spain depends on the family relationship and the status of the person already here.
The relevant route and evidence can vary according to who lives in Spain, the relationship between the applicants and the circumstances of the case.
Start with the facts
Identify who is involved before gathering the full file.
- Who is the family member already in Spain.
- The immigration status of the person living in Spain.
- The exact family relationship.
- Where each family member currently lives.
- Income, housing and other evidence that may be relevant.
- Any current application, notification or deadline.
A correct route assessment helps avoid preparing a large file for the wrong procedure.
Documentation should follow the procedure
Identity documents, family-status evidence and supporting records should be checked for consistency before submission. The exact evidence depends on the route and the circumstances.
