What is family reunion in Spain?
Family reunion in Spain is a legal procedure that allows residents in the country (generally Spanish citizens or foreigners with a legal residence status in Spain) to bring their immediate family members to be reunited and live together in Spanish territory.
The family reunion policy is designed to maintain and strengthen family ties and allow family members to live together in the same place, in this case, Spain.
Immediate family members who are generally eligible for family reunion under Spanish law include:
- Spouse or registered partner: The spouse or registered partner of the individual resident in Spain may be reunited.
- Under legal age or children with special conditions: Minor children or those with a recognised special condition may be reunited by their parents or legal guardians.
- Dependent children of legal age: In some cases, adult children who are economically dependent on the resident in Spain may be reunited.
- Parents or grandparents: In special circumstances, parents or grandparents may be reunited by their children or grandchildren residing in Spain.
Benefits of family reunion in Spain
Education
Reunited children can access the Spanish education system, which offers quality education and many opportunities for academic development.
Work and Legal Rights
Regrouped family members have legal rights and protection in Spain, allowing them to live and work in the country safely and legally.
Access to Health Services
Reunited family members have access to the public health system in Spain, which provides them with quality medical care.

- If they are over 18 years old and are not objectively capable of providing for their own needs, this needs supporting certifying documentation.

Camila Giraldo Hernández16/03/2026 Laura Neville15/03/2026 Nicolás Figueroa at Entre Trámites went above and beyond what I expected. I have had frustrating, and expensive, meetings with lawyers and gestors trying to get correct information for my situation and expat taxes in Spain. Nicolás was the first person to understand exactly what I was asking and have an answer. He was patient with my questions and followed up quickly after our call. Thank you! Danny Garriga13/03/2026 I just had my meeting with Louis Williams my tax advisor in Madrid. The meeting went really well. He is extremely knowledgeable, very thorough, informative, patient, and professional. He’s phenomenal. The best tax advisor EVER! I really liked him and will be doing my taxes with him, definitely. He gave the best advice I could ever had in order for me to be well prepared with my taxes and finances in general in Madrid going forward. He also provided lots of great suggestions and recommendations. He set me up for success. I definitely recommend him!! Daniela Catalan13/03/2026 Rowena Vasquez13/03/2026 I had an excellent experience with Entre Trámites. Valentina Bastidas handled my case with professionalism, efficiency, and very clear communication throughout the process. She was responsive to my questions and ensured that all documents were carefully reviewed before submission, which gave me great confidence that everything was handled properly. The entire process was smooth and well organised. I truly appreciate the support and would highly recommend Entre Trámites to anyone needing reliable immigration assistance in Spain. Caterina Mansilla12/03/2026 super amables y despejaron mis dudas Iamira Gutierrez12/03/2026 Excelente atención por parte de Nicolás. Respondió todas mis preguntas y me dió toda la información que necesitaba de forma clara y sencilla!! Gary Knight11/03/2026 Louis Williams firm and his consultation with me was simply epic. He is articulate, extremely knowledgeable, personable, and the answer to anyone struggling to understand how to move to Spain but mystified by the bureaucracy and the many moving parts legal, accounting, and financial which may result in taxations. Mr. Williams will convert taxing and exhausting issues into an organized explanation and then provide an opportunity to retain his and his firm's services to manage those issues. I came away enormously impressed.Google rating score: 4.5 of 5, based on 584 reviews
