Family Visa

Consultancy and document support for reuniting with spouses, children and parents — from proving your relationship to preparing a complete sponsorship application.

What a Family Visa Application Usually Requires

Family visa applications may involve documents from both the sponsor and the family member applying. Your consultant will confirm which documents are required from each person.

  • Proven Relationship Evidence of the family relationship, such as marriage or birth documentation, where required.

  • Sponsor's Legal Status The sponsor may need valid residence, visa or citizenship status in the destination country.

  • Income / Financial Requirement — If Required Some destinations require the sponsor to meet a minimum income or financial threshold.

  • Suitable Accommodation — If Required Accommodation evidence may be required depending on the destination and sponsorship category.

  • Valid Passport A valid passport for the family member applying, with the required validity.

  • Genuine Relationship Evidence Additional relationship evidence may be requested depending on the destination and case.

These are overall application requirements. The sponsor and applicant may provide different parts of the supporting file.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about applying for a family visa — for anything else, our team is happy to walk you through it directly.

Who counts as a sponsorable family member?

This depends on the destination, but commonly includes spouses, partners and children; some countries also allow parents. Your consultant will confirm what applies to your case.

Is there a minimum income requirement for the sponsor?

Many destinations set one, though the amount and rules vary widely. We'll confirm the specific requirement for your chosen destination.

Can my family apply while I'm still abroad?

Often yes, depending on the destination's process — some applications can be lodged from outside the country. We'll advise based on your situation.

How long does family visa processing take?

Timelines vary by destination and relationship category, so we don't quote a fixed processing time. Your consultant will give you a realistic estimate once your documents are reviewed.

Do documents need to be translated?

If your civil documents aren't in the destination's required language, translation and attestation are often needed. Our Document Verification service can help with this.

Is visa approval guaranteed?

No. We provide consultancy and application-assistance services — approval decisions are made solely by the relevant embassy or immigration authority, not by us.
