Did you know that you have immigration benefits and rights as a family member of an EU citizen? By applying for the EU family member residence card, you can easily live and work in Spain, for 5 years! Plus, the even better thing is that this authorization permit does not only apply to blood relatives, but is also applicable to civil partners or spouses of EU citizens.
In this article, you’ll learn all the nuances and specifics of the EU family member visa, and you’ll see exactly what you need to prove to apply for this residence permit. Don’t worry it’s not complicated at all.
Let’s start!
What is the EU Family Member Residence Card in Spain?
The EU family member residence card is a residence permit that enables relatives of Spanish or EU citizens to live and work in Spain under the same conditions as any other EU citizen.
Thanks to that family relationship, those non-EU citizens are entitled to a 5-year residency card that has many advantages. And they can obtain it even if they are under an irregular status in Spain.
Executing and obtaining the Spanish residence permit via this procedure is called the family member of a European Union citizen.
Which countries fall under the community regime?
We have provided a complete list below of all the countries that fall under the community regime:
Who does the EU family permit apply to?
Let’s now tackle the application scope of this permit. To which relatives does the family member of an EU citizen visa apply to? Article number 2 lists:
EU Spouse Visa
The EU family permit is also sometimes referred to as the EU or Spain Spouse Visa. This is because this right applies EU citizen’s spouse or civil partner registered in the EU public registry.
In other words, this right also applies to those who are married to EU citizens living in Spain, and registered civil unions that start living with their EU partner in Spain for a period of time longer than 3 months.
That is why many relationships that are composed of one individual from the EU and another from outside the area get married or constitute a civil partnership so their partner can get the Spanish residency.
First-degree descendants
This pertains to the children of both the European Union national or of their spouse. If the child is under 21 years old, the community regime will be applied to him or her. However, if the child is above 21 years old, it must be proven that he or she is dependent on the EU national.
Situations in which the child above 21 are considered a dependent include: if the child is still studying, has no or insufficient income to support themselves, or has health/medical issues.
First-degree ascendants
This procedure also applies to the parents of the EU national, provided that he or she is in charge of them. However, the EU family member residency does not apply to grandparents.
Extended relatives of EU citizens
What do we consider an extended family member?
Extended family members are other family members, regardless of nationality, that do not fall under the 3 previous conditions. In these situations, there must be cohabitation with the EU national, or the EU national must be in charge or the extended family member due to severe health problems.
This list includes:
A civil partner that is not registered. In this case, it will be necessary to demonstrate a minimum of a year of living together or to have children in common.
Other relatives of the EU citizen, under the following conditions:
- That the EU national is in charge of them in their origin country
- Other individuals who are part of the immediate family circle and who due to health issues must be under the care of the EU citizen
- Individuals who have lived together with the EU national for a minimum of 24 months or under their care
Important note. Despite the fact that you can read this list here, what the Immigration office will actually request can be a bit more strict. They will always require from you to accredit both the cohabitation and the economic dependence of the non-EU citizen who wants to get their permit in Spain.
Furthermore, brothers or sisters of the EU national are also considered if it can be demonstrated that they lived with and are economically dependent on the EU national.
Important note: When the EU family card is not applicable
We have given you this information, but it is important to bear in mind that some immigration offices are more flexible than others.
That being said, certain modifications to Spain’s Immigration Law in 2022 have stated that all direct relatives of Spanish citizens (partner, spouse, descendants, and ascendants) can now also fall under the General Immigration Regime. That means that their residence permits can be processed through the family member of an EU citizen card, but also through Arraigo Familiar instead.
Now, some Immigration Offices, for example, those in bigger cities, allow the relatives of Spanish citizens to choose either the EU citizen family member residence card process or the Family Arraigo process. However, in smaller cities, they sometimes require the relatives of Spanish citizens to only process their authorization through Family Arraigo.
That is why we recommend that you speak with an experienced attorney before you start the process to understand 100% not only which route is the most appropriate in your particular case, but also what is available in your region.
However, we have great news.
With the new reform of the immigration regulations, a new figure will be created that will unify both procedures.
Thus, relatives of Spaniards will be able to get a specific residency card (also for 5 years), which will come into force, most likely, at the end of 2024. We will keep you updated on all the details!
Entering Spain as a Non-EU Citizen
Now, traveling to Spain. So, whether you come from a country that requires a visa to enter Spain or not, your EU citizen relative should provide you with an acta de manifestaciones from the notary.
This is a document that states that the EU citizen wants their non-EU citizen family member to come to Spain and live with them.
For countries that need a visa, this document is necessary to obtain the visa to travel to Spain as a family member of an EU citizen. Once the non-EU citizen arrives in the country, they have 90 days to begin the process for the physical residence card.
For countries that do not need a visa, this document is still a necessary requirement that may be asked for at the airport or border control.
This differs from the carta de invitación (invitation letter), because this document only states that the non-EU citizen will be staying with the EU citizen as their guest. This means that the EU citizen is fully responsible for the actions of the non-EU citizen, and will have to be the one to report it if their guest is overstaying the 90 days.
Then, where is the EU family member residency card processed?
It’s processed at any of the Immigration Offices located in your Autonomic Region. For example, for Barcelona City, the autonomic region is Catalonia.
Bear in mind that you just have 90 days to process the physical card once you have entered the country. You can even do it after entering as a tourist in Spain, or online using a digital certificate on the Mercurio Platform.
For how long is the EU spouse visa valid?
The residence and work authorization as a family member of an EU citizen is valid for 5 years from the date it is issued. If the EU citizen states that he or she will be living less than that in the country, then the card will be valid for that same time frame. This is usually the case for EU citizen students who will only be studying in Spain for one or two years.
This means that the EU family permit is only valid as long as the EU national is living in Spain. Why? Because, as we have already mentioned, the EU citizen must be in charge of the non-EU national, or be his or her partner, as a general rule for this procedure to hold. Therefore, if the first one is not in Spain, these conditions do not hold.
Do you have any doubts so far? You can ask our immigration lawyers anything:
What is the difference between civil partnership and family member of an EU citizen?
Now before we get into the procedure and requirements of this residence permit, let’s clear up one thing.
The civil partnership (pareja de hecho) procedure and the family member of an EU citizen visa procedure are not the same procedure. However, they can be confused as the same one because one can be a means to obtain the other.
As we have seen in the first section, the EU family permit is one of the ways in which you can obtain a residence authorization in Spain. It is one of the many paths you have to obtain a visa in Spain.
And, exactly as how its name defines, for this procedure to be applicable you need to already be the relative of an EU citizen. That is why many couples register themselves as a civil union: just to grant the non-EU citizen of the partnership the right to apply for this procedure.
Now that you know it, don’t make the mistake again. You need to constitute a civil partnership in order to be able to get your residency in Spain as a relative of a European Union citizen or a Spanish national.
Requirements to get the EU family member residence card
The list of requirements is really short and simple. If you have an EU relative or partner, you are lucky. You can avoid the hassle and required documents that other types of permits demand.
Which then are the exact requirements you need to meet to get your residence card as a family member of an EU citizen?
- You will need to accompany or join the European Union citizen in Spain. This means going to the country to live with him or her
- The European Union citizen must be a resident in the country. Remember that being a resident implies living for more than 183 days per natural year in Spain
- The EU (or more specifically, Spanish) national must be working under a legal contract, studying in the country, or with sufficient economic funds. These economic means must be certified under the EU citizens’ name
- If they are an employee they can provide: an employment contract; an employment contract registered with the Public Employment Service; a hiring declaration from their employer; a hiring declaration on the CONTRAT@ platform; Social Security registration
- If they are self-employed they can provide: Census of Economic Activities registration; Social Security registration; Mercantile Registry registration
- If they are not involved in any economic activity they must provide: proof of public or private health insurance; proof of economic means through property titles, certified checks, bank certificates
- If they are a student, they must provide: an enrollment certificate; proof of public or private health insurance; and proof of economic means for their time in Spain; in case of student or teacher exchanges, a document accrediting the EU exchange program
- Since August 2018, the majority of Spanish regions no longer require private health insurance. In these regions, any given criteria derived from universal health will be accepted
- Two copies of the application form EX-19, filled out
- Applicant’s passport and a copy
- European citizen’s national ID and copy (the DNI if the individual is Spanish)
- Proof of paying the legal fee
- You will need to accredit the familial tie, which means, for example, demonstrating that you actually are the civil partner of the EU national. In the next section, we are going to focus specifically on this requirement
Important note: Through the Vienna agreement, the multilingual certifications do not require being legalized or any sworn translation.
How to accredit the tie between both relatives
In this section, we are going to cover the legal steps to accredit the bond between the UE national and the non-EU citizen effectively. This is a crucial step in the application procedure for the residence permit.
The correct way to accredit the relationship will vary depending on the concrete type of bond:
Marriage
If you, as an EU citizen, have constituted a marriage with a non-EU national, will need to present a marriage certificate issued during the last 3 months. But not all certificates will be valid:
- It must be issued from a country member of the European Union
- Conversely, if it is issued by a country outside the EU, an additional registry will be usually required.
In cases wherein you haven’t registered your marriage yet, you can also apply for the family member as an EU citizen visa, but they will only give you the residency card for 2 years.
Registered Civil Partnership
If you have already constituted a civil partnership, you can demonstrate it the same way as a marriage.
There is no need to present a singleness certificate. You will need to enroll the pareja de hecho in the municipal registry, the registry of the corresponding Autonomic Region, or in the Stable Couples Registry (in the case of Catalonia). Nevertheless, there are some provinces in which you can also do it at the Police Office.
You will need to present a registered census certificate (certificado de empadronamiento), which demonstrates that both members of the civil partnership are living together.
Lastly, you will also need to provide the document that accredits that the civil union is valid at the point of application. For that, you will need to go to the Civil Partnership Registry and ask for this certificate.
So we have just seen how it is possible to get the residence permit as a relative of an EU citizen both via a civil partnership and via marriage. But, which of the two is better? Which option is gonna yield more benefits according to our situation? In order to solve this issue, we have created a blog post in which we talk about the main legal differences between marriage and a civil partnership in Spain.
Unregistered Civil Partnership
If the civil partnership is unregistered, it must be proven that the relationship is stable and real. This can be proven by demonstrating that the EU citizen and non-EU citizen have been living together in a marital manner for one continuous year.
If the couple has a child together, this minimum of one continuous is unnecessary. They only need to present their child’s birth certificate, and prove stable coexistence.
Dependent relative that the EU citizen is in charge of
As we have already talked about, in the case of the extended family, it is a requirement that the EU citizen is in charge of them. But we do not mean just being in charge economically speaking. It also implies that the relatives need the material assistance of the EU national. Thus, being in charge is not solely providing economic resources, it also means three different things:
- Your relative (dependent one) does not have any income to sustain his or her basic needs because he or she does not have any or enough income
- You, as an EU citizen, must have been in charge of your relative. This can be accredited, for example, by showing that you have been sending money to the origin country regularly
- The EU citizen is the person who must take care of the non-EU citizen, and they are the only ones who can be in charge of their relative
Necessary Economic Means: Exact numbers
In the case that you are required to demonstrate the possession of sufficient economic means, what will that exact amount be?
Now, although this law has not specified a certain amount, if we take the amount specified for the Family Reunification Visa as a reference, we can say that the EU citizen must have €10,167 for a family of two.
Then €3388.2 for each additional family member.
Aside from bank statements this can also be proven through:
- A work contract, if they are an employee
- Officially registered business, if they are self-employed
- Enrollment certificate, if they are a student
Now, if the EU citizen is unable to prove economic means, another option is the Family Arraigo. As previously mentioned, family Arraigo is also a procedure aimed at bringing the non-EU relatives of EU citizens to Spain, except it doesn’t require to demonstration of economic means and does require clear criminal records.
Renewal process for the family member of an EU citizen visa in Spain
The Spanish renewal process for the family member of an EU citizen visa is done online. When renewing, it will be really important that the EU citizen you applied with is still a Spanish resident, and the relative bond is still valid.
Finally, let’s talk about the TIE, the card that contains your NIE number and your residence permit type. For this residence permit, the TIE (“tarjeta de identificación del extranjero” in Spanish) of the community citizen generally expires after 5 years of being issued. After 5 years of legally living in Spain, the non-EU citizen can apply for a permanent residency. In this case, direct ascendants and descendants of the EU citizen will no longer have to provide documentation accrediting the family bond.
Keep in mind that the community citizen can be outside Spain as long as he or she wants. But if the non-EU citizen who has obtained this visa is outside the country for more than 6 months, his or her card will expire and be lost.
So, when it’s time for renewal, the non-EU citizen will have to start the process again and apply for a new permit.
You can find out all the information regarding how to renew the family visa here.
Living in Spain for more than 5 years under the EU regime
Let’s suppose that you have obtained your authorization to live in Spain as a relative of a European citizen. After getting the actual residence permit and renewing it twice, you would have lived in the country for 5 years.
If within that period of time you haven’t left the country, you will able to get permanent residency in Spain, which will allow you to live and work in the Spanish territory for the long run. That is, indefinitely.
Its requirements are really simple to meet, and that card will be valid for 5 years (with the possibility to renew it afterward).
However, if the marriage or civil partnership is terminated before reaching those 5 years, you may lose the right to renew your residency. Click here to find out the requirements to keep your family member of an EU card even if your relationship is over.

Hello, I have a question. What are the conditions to attain residency in Spain if you were married to a Spanish spouse in another European country. What about recent divorcees of Spanish spouses within the EU? Can they attain residency in Spain ? Thanks.
Hi!
If you got divorced you can’t get this specific permit, it is required to demonstrate that you are currently together with the European Union citizen.
Hi, I am married to a Spanish spouse for 9 years and have a 13 year old child born in Spain, my wife works in Spain , how as a UK citizen having returned from the UK after 4 years apply for residenca if I’m currently not working?

Hi! I’m from Indonesia and currently in the process of getting married with my Swedish boyfriend. After we are married, he wants to register himself as a resident in Spain since we’ve long dreamt about living somewhere other than our hometowns. So our plan is after getting married in Sweden, we fly to Madrid and he will register as a resident. After that, I will start my own application as the spouse of an EU citizen living in Spain.
Is this the right steps for me to get my EU family member resident card? And I also have another question: I currently have a tourist visa issued by another Schengen country. I am planning on using it to enter Sweden then Spain. Will the immigration authorities in Spain allow me to apply for a residence card if I didn’t have an entry visa from Spanish embassy with the clear purpose of relocating with my EU spouse?
Thanks!
Hi Valerie,
Yes. Once you get married you should start the process of getting the residence card as a family member of an EU citizen.
You can also apply for the residence permit even though you entered from another Schengen country and another visa. There is no problem.
I recommend you to have a consultancy with us to discuss your options and how to proceed 🙂

In regards to this permit, the non-European citizens must attend the appointment with the Immigration Office, hence it won’t be possible to do it ourselves without them coming.

Hello,
My husband and I are planning on relocations to Spain.
I am a EU citizen ( not Spanish), he is American.
Can we move and apply for residency at the same time or do I need to be a resident for 183 days before he can apply?
And if that’s the case, does he need a visa prior?
If him and I can apply at the same time, is he also eligible to work immediately?
Thank you!
Hi Eva,
First of all, you must get the residence permit as an EU citizen in Spain. Afterwards, your husband can apply as a family member of you. So the process would take this two-step forms, and you can’t do it at the same time. However, as it takes a while and can be a bit complicated, the best would be to have a first consultation with one of our lawyers to discuss about the procedure.
Once he gets his residence card he will be able to work immediately.
Hello!
It sounds like Eva and I are in a similar situation, though my spouse is Spanish and I’m the American.
So, is the following how the process works:
1) The Spanish national currently living in the United States returns to Spain and lives there long enough to establish residency.
2) Once the Spanish national has established residency in Spain, the US national (who is still in the US) applies for the permit based on the spousal relationship.
3) Once the US national’s application is approved, that person can now rejoin the Spanish national and is immediately authorized to live and work in Spain.
Thank you!
In order to assess what would be your best option, it would be ideal to have a consultation with you so that one of the lawyers can advise you taking into account your case. You can send an email to [email protected]
I will be getting married to a Spanish citizen next week in Spain. I am currently a resident (PhD student) in France while my fiancé is working for a company in Switzerland (with a full time contract), although he also spends alot of his time in Spain. Technically, he can work from a distance due to the nature of this job. He lives in an apartment in Switzerland and shares a house with his parents in Spain. We have sufficient funds in bank to prove that we can support ourselves for the next years with or without job contract.
I am a Philippine citizen and have been living around Europe for 4 years now for my studies.
I would like to apply for a residence card right after the marriage next week so we can start arranging our future living in Spain together in the next year. Also, I am going for a Spanish nationality which I believe only requires 1 year for Philippine citizen if married to a Spanish national.
Please let me know if it is possible to immediately apply for the residence card despite the fact that I am still a holder of French residence card for the moment. We can be travelling back and forth to Spain to satisfy the residence requirement (>183 days per year) while sharing the house with his parents.
Hi Fraida,
As your situation is really specific, it would be much better to have a consultation with one of our lawyers to see the different options you have available.
Send us an email at [email protected] and we will help you out! 🙂

Hello,
I would like to know if my husband can apply for the UE family member (spouse) visa. I’m Spanish and he is from Pakistan, we got married a month ago in Pakistan but I couldn’t register the marriage in the Spanish consulate as I just had 15 days holidays. And also we haven’t lived together in Pakistan or Spain for more than 3 months but we did in Australia for a year with a rental agreement, would it work as a proof that we are together for more than 3 years? If I start the process of Marriage registration in Spain can he apply for this visa even if im not registered in the registro civil?
Thanks a lot, it is so difficult to understand the laws and bring him here…
Alicia, it is mandatory to register the marriage in Spain in case you want to bring him here. So, you can try to register the marriage through the Spanish Consulate. He can only receive this family card in case the marriage is registered or in the process of getting the registration done.
I am an EU citizen that has Spanish residency. My wife is Cuban and we got married there. I want to bring her to Spain to live with me. Can I bring her over on a 90 day Schengen visa and then apply for her residency once in Spain, based on her marriage to me? Or does she need to initiate the whole process from the Spanish embassy in Cuba?
She cannot come on a tourist visa to apply for her residency in Spain. The process must be started in Spain by you and once it is approved your wife must ask for that visa at the Spanish consulate in Cuba.
Hello – I am an American citizen. I married a Spanish national in Thailand in 2014. We registered our marriage here in Spain and I was granted residency for 2 years rather than the usual 5. I am assuming this is because we were married outside the EU? My residency is only valid until 27/3/2020. Am I able to renew? How long does the process take? Alternatively, if the process will take longer than a month, can I leave the EU before March 27th and reenter with a tourist visa that allows me to stay within the EU for an additional 90 days? Thanks for your help!
I guess it was issued only for 2 years because the marriage was still in the process to get the registration done in Spain. You can renew your residency now. You can do it 60 days before the expiration date of your card and 90 days after. However, as soon as you can do it the best.
The process does not take that much. As soon as you have the documents you can apply. In less than a month you can get the resolution. Anyway, in case you are traveling when your card is expired our suggestion is to ask for an authorization of return to enter back. If you want you can contact us to proceed with your renewal.
Hello can I bring my family to Spain if I have nationality, they live in Nigerian, I have permanent job, my sisters and mother, father,and adopted 5yers old girl?
You can bring your spouse/couple and your sons or daughters. However, it is not possible to bring your siblings. About your parents, it is very complicated so we cannot recommend you to do it.
Hello , i just obtained the residence permit for family members of citizens of EU for living in Spain . However , i might have to leave Spain and go to study in another EU country ( Hungary ) .am I gonna loose this current residence permit for spain if i go to Hungary or it is still gonna be valid ? ( my wife is spanish and will continue living in Spain when i leave )
In case you are moving to another country you can have problems the day you will have to renew your visa. If you are resident in Spain you have to be living here.
I’m a Spanish resident but I still haven’t gotten the nationality. What are the requirements to call my husband to Spain? One of the conditions I was told was to have at least a one year work contract, how would a pregnancy leave affect that?
In this case you must ask for the family reunion visa (reagrupación familiar). It is mandatory to be working in Spain and to be in the same company around 1 year. In case you are pregnant, you will still be in “alta” at Social Security.
Hi I’m a Filipina a wife of a Polish National who has a permanent residency here in Spain. My husband is self employed and self sufficient.
