👨‍👩‍👧 RENEWAL OF FAMILY REUNIFICATION RESIDENCE PERMIT

​

(Reagrupación Familiar – Updated to Article 71, RD 1155/2024)

​

If you already have a Family Reunification Residence Permit (Reagrupación Familiar), it’s time to renew it so you can continue living legally with your family in Spain.

​

This renewal is simple, fast, and we take care of everything for you. 💙✨

​

💡 What Is This Renewal?

​

This is the renewal of the temporary residence permit that was originally granted to you because you were reunified by a legal resident in Spain (your “reagrupante”).

​

The renewed authorization will:

​

➡️ Allow you to live and work legally (for any employer or self-employed)
➡️ Have a validity of 4 years (according to Article 71.6)
➡️ Be conditional on the reagrupante maintaining their own residence permit

​

📌 Important: You do NOT need an informe de vivienda (house inspection report) for this renewal — even if you changed address.

This requirement only applies to the initial reagrupation, never to the renewal.

​

👤 Who Can Renew?

​

This renewal applies to:

• Spouses or registered partners

• Children or minors under guardianship

• Parents or grandparents reunified

• Any family member holding a card that says “residencia por reagrupación familiar”

​

It can also be submitted by:

​

• The spouse/partner of the reagrupante, if the original sponsor cannot renew

• The other parent or guardian in the case of minors, as long as they are legal residents in Spain

​

✅ Requirements

​

To renew your Family Reunification Permit, you must meet the following:

✔️ Not be an EU/EEA/Swiss citizen
✔️ Have no criminal record in Spain or in the countries where you lived in the last 5 years
✔️ The family relationship must still exist (marriage, partnership, parent–child, etc.)
✔️ Children of school age must be properly enrolled
✔️ Pay the government renewal fee

​

📋 Documents You Need

​

We prepare everything for you — you only need to provide:

• Full passport (all pages) of both reagrupante and reagrupado

• NIE cards of both

• Proof that the relationship is still valid (marriage/partnership certificate, etc.)

• School certificate if you have school-age children

• If needed, integration report from your Autonomous Community

​

💡 Any foreign documents must be translated and apostilled/legalized.

​

📌 And again — no house documents are needed. No contract, no informes, nothing.

​

🗓️ When Can You Apply?

​

You can submit your renewal:

​

📅 Up to 2 months before your card expires
📅 Or within 3 months after it expires

​

If you apply within these deadlines, your previous residence remains valid until a decision is issued.

​

⏳ Processing Time

​

The Immigration Office has 3 months to decide.

If no decision is notified → your renewal is approved by positive silence (legal automatic approval).

​

After approval, you must:

🖐️ Request your new TIE card (fingerprints) within 1 month.
