Struggling with Relocating Employee Families to Spain? We help with Spain Family Reunification Visa Services

The Spain family reunification visa, also referred to as reagrupación familiar or the EU family member residence card (tarjeta comunitaria), lets non-EU family members join a relocated employee living and working in Spain. To sponsor a Spain family reunification visa, the employee must meet income thresholds (150% of IPREM in 2026), hold a valid residence status, and satisfy housing adequacy requirements.

Spain family reunification visa benefits for employers

Relocate skilled non-EU hires with their spouses, partners, and children under one managed process
Support employees toward permanent residency and long-term retention in Spain
Enable reunited family members to work from day one under 2026 reagrupación familiar rules

Common challenges when applying through the Spain family reunification route

Sponsors must meet Spain's IPREM-linked income thresholds and adequate housing standards
Civil-status certificates require apostille, legalisation, and sworn translation into Spanish
HR teams must choose the correct regime (General vs EU) and track evolving income and residence rules

Sonia and both Ana's were great. They helped me tremendously. There were a couple of hick ups in the process due to misunderstandings or uncertainty, but overall they held my family's hand through a very long and complex process.

I was nervous about moving to Spain with my family, but Jobbatical handled our residence permits, school enrollments, and even tax advice. Highly recommended

Mayara Tiné Silva

"My relocation agent was the most helpful. She always cleared my doubts with detail and a lot of patience. There’s so much bureaucracy to deal with, and it was very important to have someone explaining what to do every step of the way."
