The service at a glance
WHAT IS INCLUDED AND WHAT IS NOT PROMISED
This is the route that does not require the two years' stay, because what founds it is the family link. So what must be evidenced well is precisely that link and, where there are dependent children, living together and supporting them.
What it includes: working out the exact route and what has to be proved; obtaining and ordering birth, marriage or cohabitation certificates; filing the application and answering requests for correction. What it does not include: we cannot guarantee the permit or speed up the authority: the immigration office or the ministry decides in its own time.
DOCUMENTS YOU WILL NEED
Full valid passport.
Family book or birth and marriage certificates.
Identity document of the EU, EEA or Swiss national family member.
Joint registration certificate where relevant.
INDICATIVE TIMING
We answer your enquiry within 1 working day and send the written quote within 2 working days.
Once your documents are complete, we prepare the file between 4 and 10 working days.

Frequently asked questions
DO I NEED THE TWO YEARS' STAY?
Family-grounds residence does not require the general stay. What it requires is evidence of the family link.
I AM THE PARENT OF A SPANISH CHILD.
That case follows a different route: residence for family members of Spanish nationals. Tell us about your case and we will tell you what you need.
WHAT IF I AM THE SPOUSE OR PARTNER OF AN EU CITIZEN?
Then the route is the EU family member one, which is different and quoted separately.
