Family Reunification
Bring Your Spouse and Children to Europe
What is Family Reunification?
Family reunification allows visa holders to bring their spouse and dependent children to live with them in Europe. Once a primary client (Worker or Investor) moves, they immediately want to bring their family. The bureaucracy can be complex, making professional assistance highly valued.
