What we assess
Since 20 May 2025, family members of Spanish citizens have their own permit, separate from the EU family member card. It covers the spouse, a registered or stable partner (with twelve months of living together or a child in common), children under 26 or dependent, dependent parents, parents of a Spanish minor and other dependent family members. Following the Supreme Court judgment of 8 July 2026, the partnership does not have to have been formed under Spanish law, the dependency of parents can also be proven while already in Spain, and criminal records require an individual assessment. It is granted for five years and allows you to work.
