Relocating to Spain is exciting, but for many, it’s only a success if the whole family can come along. Navigating the family reunification process (Reagrupación Familiar) is one of the most common, yet stressful, legal hurdles.
Who Can You Bring?
Generally, you can sponsor:
- Your spouse or registered civil partner (Pareja de Hecho).
- Dependent children under 18.
- Dependent parents (ascendants) over 65 (hard to prove).
The Golden Rule: You Must Wait a Year
Standard residents must legally reside in Spain for one year before they can apply to bring their family. (Exceptions apply for DNV and Golden Visa holders).
Financial and Housing Requirements
You must prove you can support your family with a minimum monthly income and obtain a "Housing Suitability Report".
