Family Regrouping Residence Permit

Family members of residents of Spain who have legally resided for at least 1 year and have the right to reside for at least 1 more year can apply for family regrouping.

In order to apply for Spanish residency the points below have to be taken into consideration.

Who has the right to apply and receive the residency permit?

The present Royal Decree applies, whichever nationality he/she holds, to the following family members of foreign Spanish residents:

Spouse, provided he/she is not separated.
Children and those of his/her spouse, under 18 years of age provided they are not married. In the event of children of only one of the spouses the regrouping foreign resident will have to prove that he/she enjoys legal custody.
Persons under 18 years of age provided the regrouping foreign resident is his/her legal representative.
Parents, provided they are financially dependant on the foreign resident and the authorities consider there are enough reasons to justify the need.
Foreign residents who have obtained temporary residency by family regrouping will be entitled to exercise the right of regrouping of their own family members provided they have applied and obtained work and residency permit independently from those of the foreign resident through which they regrouped.

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..
