Bring your spouse, children or parents to live with you in Spain. Post your case once and immigration lawyers send you offers to compare.
Family reunification lets a non-EU resident of Spain bring close relatives from abroad to live with them. The resident in Spain acts as the sponsor and applies first, then each relative applies for a visa.
It is one of the most common immigration routes, but it has two stages and strict evidence rules on income and housing. Relatives of EU or Spanish citizens usually follow different routes.
Relatives get legal residence in Spain linked to yours.
A reunited spouse or partner and adult children can usually work in Spain.
Children can enrol in school and family members can access public services as residents.
Over time, family members can get their own residence permit that no longer depends on the sponsor.
