No: under the general regime your relative will have to return home to collect the visa, even if you file the application in Spain.
Routes to consider
Once the permit is granted, the relative applies for the visa at the consulate where they live within two months of notification. If you are Spanish, an EU citizen or hold a Law 14/2013 residence such as digital nomad, the rules are different and sometimes allow processing from Spain. Family reunification
A point to check carefully
Identify each relative’s nationality and authorisation. Document the relationship and, where relevant, cohabitation, custody or financial dependency.
Documents to get started
- Full passport and current authorisation, if any.
- Birth, marriage or partnership certificates and the relative’s documents.
- Evidence of cohabitation, dependency, custody or funds where relevant.
- Timeline of entries, departures, applications and notifications.
How we proceed
- Assessment: confirm the route and competent authority.
- Preparation: collect and review evidence specific to your case.
- Filing: check forms, fees and representation.
- Follow-up: monitor notices and explain the decision and next formalities.
