In short: a foreigner with legal residence can bring their family through family reunification; you must show sufficient income (≈150% of IPREM for 2 members, +50% per extra member) and adequate housing (RD 1155/2024).
In person or by representative? Mixed procedure: the sponsor applies for the authorisation from Spain and the relative then applies for the visa at the consulate of origin. The source does not detail each step: by default prepare to appear in person and check at inclusion.gob.es.
Who can reunify: a foreign national with legal residence in Spain (under the Regulation's periods and conditions).
Reunifiable family members:
- Spouse or registered partner (over 18; not available in polygamy situations).
- Children who are minors, or dependent adult children under guardianship.
- Parents/ascendants over 65 who are dependent, with proven economic dependency.
Sponsor's requirements: stable, regular, sufficient income (≈150% of IPREM for a 2-member unit and +50% of IPREM per additional member) and adequate housing.
Important: for family members of Spanish nationals there is a separate figure (residence of relatives of Spaniards, Instruction SEM 2/2025), distinct from this general-regime reunification.
