Family Regrouping Residence Permit

Procedure

Analysis of case – Our specialised lawyers will analyse individually the case and will comment on the most important aspects concerning this type of residency, in particular to do with the gathering of the documentation.
Preparation of case : Once the necessary documentation has been gathered, the file will be submitted in the Foreigners Department of the province of domicile.
Within 2 months of the approval of the application, the family member to be regrouped will have to apply in the Consulate for the visa.
Submission of the application for residency permit in the Consulate. The Consul, upon completing the analysis of the documentation, will grant a residency visa of family member of a foreign resident of Spain. The Consul may decide on the convenience of a personal interview with the applicant and will request the submission of a medical certificate in conformity with the International Sanitary Regulations, a criminal record certificate, original documents proving the alleged family relationship and, depending on the case, the documentation proving financial dependancy.
Travel to Spain and submission of application for residency card : Within 3 months from obtaining the visa the applicant will have to tavel to Spain and within 1 month from arriving in Spain the applicant will have to submit, in the Foreigners department of the province where he wishes to reside, the application for the residency card.
Visa exemption : The authorities may exempt the applicant from having to apply for a visa if they deem that health conditions, mobility impediments or travel difficulties make it particularly burdensome.

Duration of the Process

The duration of the process may take up to 6 months, depending on the province of domicile, the time of the year and the volume of work of the Foreigners Department Office.

Hi Roberto. We have received confirmation that the euros have been received in the UK this afternoon. May we take this opportunity of thanking both you and Antonio for your very best attention to our problem. You have handled the situation with first class professionalism and we are very grateful. Everything moved so smoothly and with much less hassle than we had anticipated at the start of the year. Thanks again and may we take the opportunity to wish you both every success in the future. .

Thanks to Lawbird we recovered our money from the sale of our apartment in Spain. We sold our apartment in May 2008. We were told by the lawyer representing us during the sale that it would normally take 2-3 months to receive our money. This is rubbish and beware of any Spanish lawyers that sell you this line or jargon.

In January 2009 with still no money from the sale of our property and countless emails and phone calls later we decided to take further action. Thankfully Lawbird were nothing short of excellent in conducting a criminal procedure against our previous lawyer recovering our money in full in less than 4 months.

My advice is to stay clear of A. A. and let Lawbird take the stress and strain out of any Spanish law formality. Thanks Lawbird and keep up the outstanding work for your clients. .

In 2009 Raymundo Nesbitt handled a property conveyance for me. He was professional, knowledgeable, helpful and available at all times and in all aspects of the conveyance. At one point a question mark over an outstanding action by the community of owners against the property developer arose. Raymundo's advice in respect of the issue blended both legal and practical advice and was valuable in making a risk assessment on the purchase..
