Family reunification in Spain

Family files are emotionally and evidentially demanding: relationships must be documented, housing inspected and means proven. We manage the sequence so relatives are not left waiting on a technicality.

Who this is for

  • Residents bringing a spouse or partner
  • Parents applying for children
  • Clients supporting dependent parents
  • Family members of EU citizens

Relationship evidence

Marriage, partnership and dependency each require different proof, often legalised and sworn-translated abroad.

Housing and income

An adequate housing report and sufficient recurring income are core requirements. We check both before opening the file.

EU family route

Family members of EU citizens follow a different and often faster regime. We identify which applies to you.

Frequently asked questions

How long must I be resident before applying?
A qualifying period of prior legal residence is normally required, with exceptions for certain permits and for family members of EU citizens. We confirm your earliest possible filing date.
Can unmarried partners apply?
Registered partnerships and evidenced stable relationships can qualify, but the evidentiary bar is higher than for marriage. We plan the file accordingly.
