#familyvisa

About

A Residence Permit for EU Family Member is used to reside in Spain if you are a relative of an EU citizen, or you have formed a civil partnership (Pareja de Hecho) with this resident of the European Union. As such, you can quickly begin working and living in Spain.

Who are considered family members of EU citizens?

A foreign citizen is assumed EU citizen's "immediate family member" if they can prove the following relation.

  • a parent of an EU citizen under the age of 21, who actually looks after this young resident.
  • registered partner or a spouse.
  • descendant under the age of 21 or a descendant of an EU citizen's spouse. 
  • descendant or ancestor of an EU citizen. Or descendant or ancestor of a spouse of an EU citizen, who is or was reliant on this nourishment or care instantly before entering the region, in a state of which the person concerned is a citizen or in which the person concerned has been permitted stay, for the purpose of meeting his basic needs.

Obtaining this permit is one of the ways to begin living lawfully for an extended period in Spain. It saves your time by avoiding a broad list of prerequisites and time-consuming paperwork. 

Eligibility

The following are the requirements for bringing a relative to Spain under this residence permit.

  • Have sufficient financial resources to sustain your family if you are not employed.
  • In Spain, full-coverage health insurance (public or private) is required if you are not working.
  • You must be a self-employed worker in Spain as a European Union citizen.

Documents

The following documents must be presented to receive this visa:

  • EX-19, the completed application form.
  • Documents demonstrating a kinship relationship between a European citizen and a non-European citizen seeking a visa.
  • Non-European citizen's passport.
  • Because the NIE number alone is insufficient, you'll need a DNI (if you're Spanish) or an EU certificate (if you have a green card).
  • A document verifying a healthcare insurance contract.
  • If you're a student, you'll need to fill out an enrollment form at the academic centre.
