Overview
Visa for family members of foreigners who already have legal resident status in Spain
and who wish 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
short-term visa).
Family members who can obtain a family reunification visa:
- The spouse, not separated in fact or in law, or the person who maintains a
partnership with the applicant that is analogous to a marital relationship
(partner entered on a public register, provided that the registration has not
been cancelled, or unregistered partner provided that proof can be provided of
the continuity of a cohabitation relationship established before the applicant
settled in Spain). Reunification cannot be offered to more than one spouse or
partner.
- The children of the applicant, the children of the spouse or partner—including
adopted children (provided that the adoption is valid in Spain)—and those
represented legally by the applicant, provided that they are under the age of 18
or that they have disabilities and are not objectively capable of providing for
their own needs due to their health status.
- The applicant's parents (mother or father) and those of their spouse or partner,
provided that they are in the care of the applicant, they are older than 65 and
there are reasons substantiating the need to authorize their residence in Spain.
On an exceptional basis, and for humanitarian reasons, the reunification of
parents under the age of 65 may be permitted.
