Spain Spouse Visa: Bringing Families Together

The Spain Spouse Visa, also known as the Family Reunification Visa, allows individuals married to a Spanish citizen or a foreign resident with legal status in Spain to join their spouse. This visa is part of Spain’s commitment to fostering family unity. For those seeking to reunite with loved ones, the Spain Dependent Visa also enables family members to live together in Spain.
