Overview

What you need to knowabout this route.

Family reunification in Spain (reagrupación familiar) allows non-EU residents with valid Spanish permits to bring their closest family members to live with them legally. It is governed by Articles 16–20 of LO 4/2000 and developed in RD 557/2011.

The process involves two parallel tracks: the sponsor (the person already in Spain with a valid permit) files the reunification application at Extranjería, while the family member applies for the visa at the Spanish consulate in their country of residence. I coordinate both sides to ensure the timing and documentation align.

Frequently askedquestions.

Who qualifies for family reunification?▼

Spouse or registered partner, minor children under 18 (including adopted), adult children with disabilities who are dependent, and dependent parents of the sponsor or their spouse.

Does my spouse get a work permit?▼

Yes. The reunification permit includes the right to work in Spain on the same basis as the sponsor.

How long does the process take?▼

Extranjería has 3 months to resolve the application. Consulate processing for the visa varies by country (typically 2–6 weeks after Extranjería approval).

What if my documents are from a non-EU country?▼

Documents must be apostilled (Hague Convention countries) or legalised (other countries) and accompanied by a certified Spanish translation by a sworn translator.

Can I include multiple family members?▼

Yes. Multiple family members can be included in the same application, though the income requirements increase with each additional person.
