Family reunification (reagrupación familiar) allows foreign nationals residing legally in Spain to bring their close family members to join them. A separate and simpler procedure applies to family members of Spanish or EU citizens.
Main requirements
- The person bringing the family member must have resided in Spain for at least 1 year and hold a permit valid for at least 1 more year
- Regular income sufficient to support the family
- A suitable housing report from the town council or the autonomous community
- Apostilled and translated documents showing the family relationship
Which route applies
- With the digital nomad and highly qualified professional permits, family members can apply together with you, without waiting a year
- If your spouse is a Spanish or EU citizen, you apply for the "family member of an EU citizen card"
- For other residence permits, the general family reunification procedure is followed
