Spanish immigration procedure

Family reunification

You live in Spain with legal residence and want to bring your family. You apply for the reunification yourself, from here, and once it is granted your relative applies for the visa in their country. We check before charging you that you meet the income and housing requirements, ask only for the documents of your case and file the application.

VAT and immigration fee included. Does not include apostilles or legalisations, sworn translations, consular fees, the card fee (TIE) or the immigration office appointment.

Is this your case?

  • You have a residence permit in Spain and have already renewed it, or applied for its renewal, after at least one year of residence.
  • You want to bring your spouse or partner, your children under 18 or, if you have long-term residence, your parents over sixty-five who depend on you.
  • You have enough fixed and regular income for your family and adequate housing for everyone.

For these cases it is a different procedure

If you are not sure, take the test and we'll tell you which one applies to you.

How it works

  1. We check that you can sponsor them

    You answer the questionnaire on this page and, before charging you anything, we check your permit, your income, your housing and the relationship with your relative, or we tell you whether it is better to see a lawyer first.

  2. We ask only for your documents

    Yours, as the sponsor, and those proving the relationship with your relative. You receive the list for your case, not a generic one.

  3. We file and follow the application

    We file it at the immigration office and keep you informed at every step. When it is granted, we explain how your relative applies for the visa.

Check whether your case fits

Before charging you anything. It is a few questions and we tell you whether we can handle it or whether it is better to review it in a consultation.

Enter the code we emailed you and go straight to your details, without answering anything.

Which documents you need

To file the family reunification of your relative we need these documents:

  1. Complete copy of your valid passport.
  2. Copy of your valid TIE, both sides, and, if you have applied for its renewal, the receipt of the application.
  3. Documents proving your income: employment contract, payslips for the last six months and employment history report; or, if you are self-employed, your latest income tax return and quarterly payments. If the income of your spouse or partner living with you also counts, theirs too.
  4. Adequate housing report from the autonomous community or the town council, less than six months old. If you have not received it within a month, the receipt of the request and other proof of the housing, such as the rental contract or the deeds.
  5. Public or private health insurance covering your relative.
  6. Complete copy of your relative's valid passport.

On top of these comes the document proving the relationship with your relative. The questionnaire on this page tells you which applies to you.

Once granted, your relative applies for the visa at the Spanish consulate in their country, with their own documents, and enters Spain within one month at most.

Documents issued in another country must come translated into Spanish by a sworn translator and legalised or apostilled. That cost is not included in the price of the pack.

You don't need to have everything today: when you hire us we send you this list and review it with you.

Frequently asked questions

Your spouse or your partner, registered or stable if you prove twelve months of cohabitation or have children together; your children, or those of your spouse or partner, under eighteen or older with a disability requiring support; minors for whom you are the legal representative; and, if you have long-term residence, your parents or those of your spouse or partner over sixty-five who depend on you.

At least one year of residence, and having renewed your permit or applied for its renewal. To bring your parents you also need long-term residence.

Fixed and regular income of 150% of the IPREM index for you and one relative, and 50% more for each additional person. Yours and your spouse's or partner's count if they live with you; social benefits do not. In the questionnaire we tell you the figure for your case.

With a report from the autonomous community or the town council, which must be less than six months old when the application is filed. If you don't get it in time, it can be proven with other evidence.

Your relative applies for the visa at the Spanish consulate in their country and, once they have it, enters Spain within one month at most. If it is your spouse, your partner or your child of working age, they can work from the moment they arrive, with no further procedures.

The immigration office has two months to decide. If it doesn't reply within that period, the application is deemed rejected, and then it can be appealed.

Each relative has their own application and their own fee. From the second one onwards, our fees have a 25% discount: the questionnaire applies it when you tell it that it is an additional relative.

Our fees and the immigration office fee, which we pay when filing. It does not include the housing report, health insurance, visa fees or the translation and legalisation of foreign documents.
