Family Reunification

A family reunification visa is issued so that you can settle long-term with your spouse, parent or child who is legally resident abroad. The application requires proof of the family relationship through official documents and evidence that the family member abroad meets the residence, income and accommodation requirements.

Who is a family reunification visa for?

Spouses, minor children and, in some countries, dependent parents of people who hold a residence permit or citizenship abroad can apply for a family reunification visa. Similar options also exist for the families of certain groups of students studying abroad.

The family reunification visa application process step by step

1. We assess your family relationship and the residence status of your family member abroad.
2. We list marriage and birth certificates along with the apostille and translation requirements.
3. We check the income, accommodation and, where required, language certificate requirements.
4. We prepare your application file and book your appointment.
5. We follow the process after submission until a decision is made and, if needed, respond to requests for additional documents together.

Key points for your family reunification visa application

• Civil registry documents may need to be apostilled and accompanied by a sworn translation.
• Some countries require a basic-level language certificate before you apply.
• The income and housing documents of the family member abroad must be up to date.
• Processing times can be long, so keep your moving plans flexible.
