About this Visa
This visa allows non-EU residents living in Spain to bring their immediate family members to live with them. The person already in Spain (the "sponsor") must have lived there legally for at least one year before applying. It is designed to keep families together. Once approved, your family members can work, go to school, and travel freely within Europe immediately. NOTE: This is for families of **foreign residents**. If the sponsor is a Spanish or EU citizen, you need a different visa with easier rules.
