Family Visa Immigration

A family visa is a legal document granted for international family reunion. Typically, in order to be eligible for a family visa, you must have a family member—such as your spouse/partner, parent, sibling, or child—who is already living abroad and whom you wish to join.

Family Visa Types

A family visa is a legal document granted for international family reunion. Typically, in order to be eligible for a family visa, you must have a family member—such as your spouse/partner, parent, sibling, or child—who is already living abroad and whom you wish to join.

Spouse Visa

If your spouse lives abroad, you can apply for this category of family visa. If you are merely a registered partner, including a same-sex partner, you may still be eligible for the visa.

Parent Visa

If you have a kid who is willing to sponsor you from a foreign nation, you should apply for this form of family visa. The availability of this sort of visa must be confirmed in advance because not all nations offer them.

Children Visa

If your parent lives abroad and you desire to live with them, you may be eligible for this form of visa. Normally, you must be a minor to be eligible for this visa, although some countries may have exceptions.

Other Family Visa

If you have a sibling, grandparent, or another close relative who may sponsor you for a family visa, you qualify for an immediate family visa. However, only a select few nations provide this option, therefore it is rarely granted.

Fill Out The Application Form

You must first complete the family visa application form. A copy of the form could be accessible online or at the relevant visa office; either way, you must fill it out and sign it.

Please provide accurate and current information on the form.

Find a Center for Visa Applications.

Your family visa application must be submitted to the appropriate visa office. This might be a local application center, a nearby embassy or consulate, or even a VHS worldwide office.
You must schedule an appointment to attend your visa interview and submit your application after locating the appropriate application facility.

Prepare Your Documents

You must compile the necessary documentation and make it in the appropriate format in order to submit your application.

As directed by the visa office, certain of your documents (such as your marriage certificate, divorce decree, birth certificate, etc.) may require translation or authentication with an apostille stamp.

Attend the Visa Interview

You must submit your application and appear for the visa interview after gathering your documentation. To confirm your plans for applying for a family visa, you’ll probably need to go to the interview with your spouse and respond to questions about your relationship.

Additionally, some visa offices may need that you pay the application cost on the day of your interview, while others will require that you pay in advance and present a receipt with your paperwork; they will inform you in advance.
