A key requirement is that the sponsor (reagrupante) must also be renewing their residence permit or already hold a valid one.
Status of the sponsor: A family member who has been reunited may apply for an extension if their sponsor is:
  • Renewal of a residence permit.
  • Long-term residence.
Maintaining ties: It must be demonstrated that the marital or family ties that formed the basis for the family reunion are still in place.
Right to work: Upon the first renewal, the permit for a reunited family member automatically includes the right to work for an employer or on a self-employed basis without the need for any further procedures.
Validity period: The permit is extended for four years, with the validity of the card linked to that of the reagrupante card.

Application procedure

The procedure is carried out at the Foreigners’ Office (Oficina de Extranjería) in your area of residence. The application must be submitted within 60 calendar days before the expiry of your current residence permit or within 90 days after its expiry.
