Overview
Visa for relatives of foreigners who already have legal residence in Spain and who want to exercise the right to family reunification.
This type of visa is not issued to family members of citizens of the European Union or of the Member States of the European Economic Area or of Switzerland (see “Visas for family members of citizens of the Union”).
Relatives who can obtain a family reunification visa:
- The spouse, not separated in fact or by law, or the person who maintains an affective relationship analogous to the conjugal relationship with the sponsor (partner registered in a public registry, provided the registration has not been cancelled, or non-registered partner provided can prove the continuity of a cohabitation relationship established before the sponsor established his residence in Spain). You cannot regroup more than one spouse or partner.
- The children of the sponsor, the children of the spouse or partner -including those adopted (as long as the adoption is valid in Spain)- and those legally represented by the sponsor, under 18 years of age or disabled who are not objectively capable of providing for their own needs due to their health status.
- The parents (father or mother) of the sponsor and those of their spouse or partner, provided they are in charge of the sponsor, are over 65 years of age and there are reasons that justify the need to authorize their residence in Spain. Exceptionally, and for humanitarian reasons, the reunification of parents under 65 years of age may be allowed.
