| Austria Red-White-Red Card plus (family reunification) | Active as of 2026-08-12[3][11] | residence permit as of 2026-08-12[14] | 2 years as of 2026-08-12[11] NAG § 46 Abs. 1a second sentence and Abs. 6 second sentence: two years where the sponsor holds a „Rot-Weiß-Rot – Karte plus“ under § 41a Abs. 1 or 7a, or is a former EU Blue Card holder now on a „Rot-Weiß-Rot – Karte plus“ or „Daueraufenthalt – EU“. Where the sponsor holds a § 41 Red-White-Red Card, an EU Blue Card or a „Niederlassungsbewilligung – Forscher“, the card's validity instead follows the sponsor's (§ 46 Abs. 1a first sentence, Abs. 6 third sentence), which is why initial_duration_basis is matches_sponsor. | Not established from a qualifying source | full as of 2026-08-12[3][14] NAG § 8 Abs. 1 Z 2 and migration.gv.at: fixed-term settlement with unrestricted labour-market access. | Yes as of 2026-08-12[10][14] Settlement title; NAG § 45 Abs. 1. | Not established from a qualifying source | application: EUR 218 as of 2026-08-12[3][15] EUR 218. | temporary permit holder, permanent resident, specific permits as of 2026-08-12[3][11] The union of the sponsor categories in § 46 Abs. 1 Z 1, Z 1a, Z 2 and Abs. 3. 'citizen' is deliberately absent: family members of Austrians take the „Familienangehöriger“ title under § 47 Abs. 2, recorded as at-familienangehoeriger. The matrix below states which sponsor yields what. | 1 × equalisation supplement reference rate per month as of 2026-08-12[3][7] | Yes as of 2026-08-12[3][4][7] NAG § 11 Abs. 2 Z 2 requires a legal entitlement to accommodation regarded as locally customary for a comparably sized family.

There is no number to record, so the rule is carried by initial_duration_basis, per schema §6.4. | Not established from a qualifying source | authorisation required as of 2026-08-12[1][6] AuslBG § 20d Abs. 9: where the „Aufenthaltsbewilligung – Familiengemeinschaft“ is to grant access to the labour market, the admission procedure of Abs. 1 and 2 applies and the regional AMS office checks the § 4 Abs. 1 conditions other than Z 1. Where access has been granted, § 20d Abs. 7 gives the holder at least six months to find work on becoming unemployed. | Yes as of 2026-08-12[10] | Not established from a qualifying source | application: EUR 218 as of 2026-08-12[6][15] | specific permits as of 2026-08-12[6][13] The sponsor must hold an Aufenthaltsbewilligung. migration.gv.at names the qualifying ones: ICT, mobile ICT, Forscher-Mobilität, Sonderfälle unselbständiger Erwerbstätigkeit and Studenten. NAG § 69 Abs. 2 states the exclusions from the other side: the derived permission is not available to family members of holders of a Betriebsentsandter (§ 59), Selbständiger (§ 60), Schüler (§ 63), Sozialdienstleistender (§ 66), Freiwilliger (§ 67) or Grenzgänger (§ 68) permission, nor of a Sonderfälle permission (§ 62) resting on an activity under § 1 Z 10 AuslBVO. § 69 Abs. 1a waives the accommodation condition for family members of a mobile researcher who already lived with them in the other member state. | 1 × equalisation supplement reference rate per month as of 2026-08-12[6][7] | Yes as of 2026-08-12[6][7][13] NAG § 11 Abs. 2 Z 2 applies through § 69 Abs. 1; the single express waiver is § 69 Abs. 1a for family members of a mobile researcher who already resided with them in the other member state. | Not recorded | |

The vocabulary has no value for a non-national bloc citizen who has not exercised free movement, so 'citizen' is recorded and the wider class is stated here: an EEA or Swiss citizen who has exercised free movement falls under the Union-law regime in NAG §§ 51 to 57 instead, which is outside this record. | 1 × equalisation supplement reference rate per month as of 2026-08-12[3][7] | Yes as of 2026-08-12[3][7] NAG § 11 Abs. 2 Z 2; the family-reunification titles are not among the titles the administering portal lists as exempt from the accommodation condition. | Not recorded | |

There is no continuing sponsor; the field records the status the entitlement derives from. | Recorded at the source, but not reducible to a single value as of 2026-08-25[22] | Yes as of 2026-08-25[22] ЗЧРБ чл. 24, ал. 2 as reproduced by the register applies to the grant of any продължително permit. | at least 2 years as of 2026-08-25[22] The register: the services for administrative control of foreigners may issue the autonomous permit once, where the family has resided continuously and lawfully on the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria for at least two years. |

The Employment Agency issues them a 'Разрешение за работа' under ЗТМТМ чл. 40, ал. 2, observing чл. 7, ал. 1, т. 3 — specialised knowledge, skills and professional experience — and the ceiling at чл. 7, ал. 1, т. 1 is not applied to this category. The permit runs to the term of the contract or of the person's residence and may be extended. | Not established from a qualifying source |
| Not established from a qualifying source | issuance: BGN 150 one-off as of 2026-08-25[22] Source states the threshold in Bulgarian leva. Bulgaria adopted the euro on 2026-01-01 at the fixed rate 1 EUR = 1.95583 BGN; none of the sources consulted publishes a redenominated figure for this threshold. | temporary permit holder, permanent resident, specific permits as of 2026-08-25[22] The register's entry for this ground: family members of a foreigner who has obtained продължително or постоянно residence, and of a foreigner granted asylum or international protection. `specific_permits` carries the asylum and international-protection limb, for which the vocabulary has no value of its own. | Recorded at the source, but not reducible to a single value as of 2026-08-25[22] | Yes as of 2026-08-25[22] ЗЧРБ чл. 24, ал. 2 as reproduced by the register: secured accommodation, compulsory health insurance and sufficient means of maintenance for the period of residence. | Not recorded |

The register prices the permit in two bands, up to 6 months and up to 1 year. | Yes as of 2026-08-25[22] The register's filing rule — no later than 14 days before the permitted stay expires — presupposes extension. | none as of 2026-08-25[26] ЗТМТМ чл. 8, ал. 1, т. 2: holders of продължително residence granted on the grounds of чл. 24, ал. 1, т. 2, 6–8, 10, 14, 16, 19 and 20 ЗЧРБ have no right of access to the labour market. Point 7 falls inside the range 6–8, so this is a sourced negative rather than an absence of information. | Not established from a qualifying source |
| Not established from a qualifying source This is itself the family route. | application: BGN 10 one-off as of 2026-08-25[22] Source states the threshold in Bulgarian leva. Bulgaria adopted the euro on 2026-01-01 at the fixed rate 1 EUR = 1.95583 BGN; none of the sources consulted publishes a redenominated figure for this threshold. | citizen, permanent resident as of 2026-08-25[22] The register: financially secured parents of a Bulgarian citizen or of a foreigner who holds a permanent residence permit. | Recorded at the source, but not reducible to a single value as of 2026-08-25[22] | Yes as of 2026-08-25[22] ЗЧРБ чл. 24, ал. 2 as reproduced by the register: secured accommodation, compulsory health insurance and sufficient means of maintenance for the period of residence. | Not recorded |
| Bulgaria long-stay residence permit — other member of the household of a foreigner under art. 23a(3), or their private domestic helper (Foreigners Act, art. 24(1)(14)) | Active as of 2026-08-25[22] | residence permit as of 2026-08-25[22] | up to 1 year as of 2026-08-25[25] ЗЧРБ чл. 23, ал. 1, т. 2: продължително residence is 'with a permitted term of up to one year, save in the cases provided for in this Act'. The register prices the permit in two bands, up to 6 months and up to 1 year. | Yes as of 2026-08-25[22] The register's filing rule — no later than 14 days before the permitted stay expires — presupposes extension. | none as of 2026-08-25[26] ЗТМТМ чл. 8, ал. 1, т. 2 lists чл. 24, ал. 1, т. 14 among the grounds whose holders have no right of access to the labour market. This is a sourced negative. It is worth stating plainly because one of the two categories on this ground is a private domestic helper, whose occupation the permit does not thereby open to the labour market generally. | Not established from a qualifying source |
| Not established from a qualifying source This is itself the family route. | application: BGN 10 one-off as of 2026-08-25[22] Source states the threshold in Bulgarian leva. Bulgaria adopted the euro on 2026-01-01 at the fixed rate 1 EUR = 1.95583 BGN; none of the sources consulted publishes a redenominated figure for this threshold. | specific permits as of 2026-08-25[22] | Recorded at the source, but not reducible to a single value as of 2026-08-25[22] | Yes as of 2026-08-25[22] ЗЧРБ чл. 24, ал. 2 as reproduced by the register. | Not recorded |
| Croatia temporary stay for the purpose of family reunification | Active as of 2026-05-27[106][114] | residence permit as of 2026-08-15[108] Granted as temporary stay; the holder is issued a biometric residence permit. | up to 2 years as of 2025-03-07[113] Art. 61(1) second indent point 1 as substituted by NN 40/2025: up to two years where the reunification is with a Croatian citizen, with a third-country national on long-term or permanent stay, with a person granted asylum or subsidiary protection, or with a third-country national who holds temporary stay. Art. 61(5) caps it: the permit is issued to the expiry of the sponsor's own temporary stay, and in any case for no longer than two years. Before NN 40/2025 the two-year term was available only for reunification with a Croatian citizen. | Yes as of 2026-08-15[112] Art. 62(1): an application to extend is lodged at the latest 60 days before the current permit expires; the holder may remain until the decision is enforceable. Art. 63(4) as renumbered adds that a refusal to extend, or an expulsion decision, may not rest solely on illness or disability suffered by the family member after the stay was granted. | Recorded at the source, but not reducible to a single value as of 2026-08-15[109][112] | Yes as of 2026-08-15[107][112] |
| Yes as of 2026-05-27[112][114] The holder of this permit is themselves a third-country national with temporary stay, and art. 63(1)(4) makes that one of the five sponsor statuses, so a further family member may in principle be reunited with them. Art. 63(2)'s two-year waiting rule is written for the holder of a stay and work permit under art. 97 and does not reach this route, and art. 63(4)'s exclusions do not name it. The permit's own term caps the chain in practice: art. 61(5) issues a family permit only to the expiry of the sponsor's temporary stay. | application: EUR 46.45 as of 2026-08-15[108] Administrative fee for granting temporary stay where the application is lodged at a police administration or station. | citizen, permanent resident, temporary permit holder, specific permits as of 2026-08-15[106][112] Art. 63(1): a Croatian citizen; a third-country national granted long-term residence; a third-country national granted permanent stay; a third-country national granted temporary stay; and a third-country national granted asylum or subsidiary protection. Croatia's two permanence tracks – long-term residence and permanent stay – are both mapped to permanent_resident; 'specific_permits' carries the protection statuses. | 0.57 × average monthly net paid salary, previous year per month as of 2026-01-09[110][111] Regulation art. 2(1) as substituted by NN 3/2026: at least 57 % of the previous year's average monthly net paid salary, EUR 825.93 at the Bureau of Statistics figure for 2025. Art. 2(2), unamended: for a two-member family the amount is increased by 15 %, and for each further family member or life or informal life partner by a further 10 % of that average salary – so EUR 1,043.28 for two and EUR 1,188.18 for three. The requirement falls away entirely for the close family member of a Croatian citizen (art. 65(1)) and for the family of a person granted asylum or subsidiary protection (art. 66(1)). Ordinance art. 6(2)(1) as substituted by NN 43/2026 lists what proves it: six payslips immediately before the application, a tax decision, a pension statement, entry in the register of family farms with proof of income from it, or a written maintenance undertaking given by a family or household member – and, where the reunification is with a digital nomad or concerns the minor children of art. 63(3), a bank account as well. Whose income is tested – the sponsor's or the applicant's – is not stated in terms; the condition sits in art. 59(1)(3), which is written about the applicant. | Not established from a qualifying source No accommodation condition for a family sponsor was found in the retrieved text. Croatia's appropriate-accommodation rules in art. 103.f and ordinance arts. 47 to 49 are written for employers of work-permit and seasonal workers, not for family sponsors. | at least 2 years as of 2026-05-27[114] Art. 63(2) as substituted by NN 55/2026: where the sponsor holds a stay and work permit issued or extended under art. 97 with a validity of one year or more, family reunification may be granted only if the sponsor has held temporary stay in Croatia continuously for at least two years. This applies to that sponsor class alone – there is no waiting period for the family of a Croatian citizen, of a long-term or permanent resident, of a protection holder or of a Blue Card holder. NN 55/2026 raised it from one year; the Ministry's English page still states one year, and art. 63(3) as added by NN 40/2025 exempts a minor child both of whose parents hold art. 97 permits, and a minor child of a single parent holding one. |
| Croatia temporary stay for the purpose of life partnership | Active as of 2025-03-07[108][113] | residence permit as of 2026-08-15[108] Granted as temporary stay; the holder is issued a biometric residence permit. | up to 2 years as of 2025-03-07[113] Art. 61(1) second indent point 2 as substituted by NN 40/2025: up to two years for life or informal life partnership with a Croatian citizen, with a third-country national on long-term or permanent stay, with a person granted asylum or subsidiary protection, or with a third-country national holding temporary stay; art. 61(5) caps it to the expiry of the sponsoring partner's own temporary stay and to two years in any case. | Yes as of 2026-08-15[112] Art. 62(1): an application to extend is lodged at the latest 60 days before expiry. | Recorded at the source, but not reducible to a single value as of 2026-08-15[109][112] As on the family-reunification route, the answer turns on the partner's status. Art. 89(1)(2) frees from any permit a person on temporary stay for life partnership with a Croatian citizen, or with a third-country national holding long-term residence, permanent stay, asylum or subsidiary protection; art. 89(1)(3) extends the same to the life partner of an EU Blue Card holder or an intra-corporate transferee. A life partner of an ordinary work-permit holder is not in the list. Same schema gap as on hr-spajanje-obitelji. | Yes as of 2026-08-15[107][112] |
| Yes as of 2026-08-15[112] Art. 70(3) applies arts. 69 and 71 to a life-partnership holder by analogy, and art. 63(1)(4) treats any third-country national holding temporary stay as a possible sponsor, so a further family member may in principle be reunited with the holder. Art. 61(5) caps the resulting permit to the expiry of the holder's own stay. | application: EUR 46.45 as of 2026-08-15[108] Administrative fee for granting temporary stay where the application is lodged at a police administration or station. | citizen, permanent resident, temporary permit holder, specific permits as of 2026-08-15[112] Art. 70(1): a Croatian citizen, a third-country national with long-term residence, permanent stay or temporary stay, or a person granted asylum or subsidiary protection. | 0.57 × average monthly net paid salary, previous year per month as of 2026-01-09[110][111] The general level in regulation art. 2(1) as substituted by NN 3/2026 – 57 % of the previous year's average monthly net paid salary, EUR 825.93 at the 2025 figure – with the art. 2(2) increments of 15 % for a two-member family and 10 % for each further member. Art. 70(2) exempts the life or informal life partner of a Croatian citizen from proving means altogether. | Not established from a qualifying source No accommodation condition for this route was found in the retrieved text. | Not established from a qualifying source |
| Cyprus Family members of certain third country nationals that are legally residing in Cyprus (FR family reunification) | Active as of 2025-12-29[29][30] | residence permit as of 2025-12-29[29][30] | 1 year as of 2025-12-29[29][30] 'Family members are granted a first residence permit of one year's duration.' | Yes as of 2025-12-29[29][30] 'The permit is renewable and cannot be valid beyond the date of expiry of the sponsor's permit.' Where the sponsor holds an intra-corporate transfer or long-term mobility permit, family permits as a rule share its expiry date; the same applies to researchers' family members, including where the researcher holds a permit to seek employment or do business. | full as of 2025-12-29[29][30] 'Spouses/partners in civil unions have direct access to employment, with the same terms and conditions as the sponsor.' Spouses and civil partners of long-term residents and of intra-corporate transferees have free access to the labour market including self-employment. Spouses and civil partners of employees at companies of foreign interests have free access to paid employment without a Department of Labour sealed contract, but not to self-employment — so the access is 'full' only for some sponsor categories, and employment-only for that one. | Not established from a qualifying source[29][30] Not stated. | Yes as of 2025-12-29[29][30] Recorded for completeness on a route that is itself a family route: the family members admitted under this regime ARE the beneficiaries, and each family member holds their own residence permit obtained through the sponsor's application. The block does not describe a further right for the permit holder to bring additional relatives; nothing on the page addresses that. | application: EUR 200 as of 2025-12-29[29][30] Issuance of entry permit and residence permit. | permanent resident, temporary permit holder, specific permits as of 2025-12-29[29][30] The regime is open to third-country nationals residing legally in the Republic who satisfy the sponsor conditions; 'permanent_resident' is recorded because the page addresses the labour-market rights of spouses of long-term residents, and 'specific_permits' because intra-corporate transfer, long-term mobility and researcher permits are named and given their own exemptions. The page does not enumerate an exhaustive list of qualifying permits. | Not established from a qualifying source[29][30] No income figure or income condition is published on the page; the sponsor conditions it states are the two-year residence, the one-year permit validity and the reasonable prospect of permanent residence. | Not established from a qualifying source[29][30] Not stated. | 2 years as of 2025-12-29[29][30] Sponsors must 'reside legally in the Republic for a period of at least two (2) years'. Exceptions: the Director has discretion to waive it where the sponsor is employed by a company within the meaning of the Companies Law approved to employ foreign personnel; and it does not apply to sponsors holding an intra-corporate transfer permit, a long-term mobility permit in the context of an intra-corporate transfer, a researcher permit or a long-term mobility researcher permit issued by Cyprus. | |

The page does not state the position for dependent family members, and the fee schedule's separate 'residence permit without employment' case implies that not every family member holds a work right. | Not established from a qualifying source[27][28] Not stated. |
| Yes as of 2025-12-30[27][28] Recorded for completeness on a route that is itself a family route. The Cypriot citizen sponsors the third-country family member and applies for the entry permit; the family members admitted are the beneficiaries of the route rather than dependants of a separate principal. | issuance: EUR 80 as of 2025-12-30[27][28] Issuance or renewal of a residence and work permit. | citizen as of 2025-12-30[27][28] The sponsor is a Cypriot citizen.

| Czechia Long-term Residence Permit for Family Purposes | Active as of 2026-06-24[31][35] | residence permit as of 2026-06-24[31] A long-term residence permit. | up to 2 years as of 2026-06-24[31][35] The route page states 'For a maximum of 2 years'; in the Act the figure comes from the residual limb s. 44(4)(j). | Yes as of 2026-06-24[31] 'You can apply to extend a long-term residence permit for family purposes repeatedly if you are going to keep on residing in the Czech Republic and your family situation has not changed.' | none as of 2026-06-24[31] | Yes as of 2026-06-12[35] s. 68(2)(a) counts time on a long-term residence permit; this permit is not on the s. 68(3) exclusion list. | No as of 2026-06-12[35] The route is itself a family route and s. 42a(7)(a) would require its holder to have resided for 15 months before bringing anyone further; nothing in the sources read contemplates dependants of a family-purposes permit holder. | application: CZK 2,500 as of 2026-06-24[31] Administrative fee; CZK 1,000 for a minor under 15. | temporary permit holder, permanent resident as of 2026-06-24[31] | Not established from a qualifying source The route page states no income test and lists no documents. s. 46(1) applies s. 31(1)(a) to (e) to a long-term residence permit, which includes proof of funds under s. 13, but no family-specific composite test of the s. 42b(1)(d) kind was found for this route. | Not established from a qualifying source Not stated on the route page. s. 46(1) brings in s. 31(1)(d), proof of accommodation, for a long-term residence permit generally, but the route page does not confirm it for this route. | Not recorded | |
| Czechia Long-term Residence Permit for the Purpose of Family Reunification | Active as of 2026-07-15[33][35] | residence permit as of 2026-06-12[35] s. 42a(1): a long-term residence permit. | at least 1 year as of 2026-07-15[33][35] s. 44(4)(d): the permit runs for the validity of the sponsor's own residence card, but for at least 1 year – a floor rather than a ceiling, which is what the v1.1 bounds form exists for. s. 44(4)(e) fixes 2 years instead where the sponsor holds permanent residence. The route page states both. | Yes as of 2026-07-15[33] 'You can apply for an extension… repeatedly if you are going to keep on residing in the Czech Republic and your family situation has not changed.' | full as of 2026-07-15[33][36] Act No. 435/2004 Coll. s. 98(l): a foreigner residing on a family-reunification long-term permit needs no work permit, employee card or blue card where the reunification is with a permanent resident, a beneficiary of asylum or subsidiary protection, an academic or researcher within s. 98(n), or the holder of a valid long-term residence permit. The route page states it without those qualifications: 'you can work here without an additional permit (free access to the labour market)'. The statutory list is narrower than the page – it does not reach reunification with a long-term VISA holder – but a long-term visa is not a qualifying sponsor status for this permit anyway, so on this route the two agree. | Yes as of 2026-06-12[35] s. 68(2)(a) counts time on a long-term residence permit; family reunification is not on the s. 68(3) exclusion list and takes no discount. | No as of 2026-06-12[35] The route IS the family route: a family-reunification permit does not itself carry further dependants. s. 42a(7)(a) requires the sponsor to have resided for at least 15 months, and the route page states the 3-year lock on changing purpose from this permit. | application: CZK 2,500 as of 2026-07-15[33] Administrative fee for an application lodged at a Ministry of the Interior office; CZK 1,000 for a minor under 15. | permanent resident, temporary permit holder, specific permits as of 2026-07-15[33][35] s. 42a(7): the sponsor may hold a long-term residence permit or a permanent residence permit (subparagraph (a)), an employee card (subparagraph (b)), or a Blue Card, a research permit, an intra-company transfer card, an intra-company transfer card of another EU Member State or the investment permit (subparagraph (d)); subparagraph (e) extends the same treatment to someone who has merely APPLIED for a research permit or for the s. 42(3) job-search permit. Czech citizenship is deliberately not listed: a family member of a Czech citizen has a separate regime under Part III of the Act, which this route is not. Paragraphs (e) to (i) of s. 42a(1) extend the relations for the family of a recognised refugee; that is an asylum track and is not recorded here. | Recorded at the source, but not reducible to a single value | Yes as of 2026-06-12[35] s. 42b(1)(a) requires the s. 31(1)(d) document – proof of accommodation for the duration of the stay – and s. 31(5) sets the standard that accommodation must meet. | at least 15 months as of 2026-07-15[33][35] s. 42a(7)(a) is the default: the sponsor must hold a long-term or permanent residence permit AND have resided in the territory for at least 15 months. The route page states the same. It is heavily qualified, and the qualifications matter more than the default for most applicants – see sponsor_matrix. | |
| Czechia Long-term Visa for Family Purposes | Active as of 2026-06-22[32][35] | national visa as of 2026-06-12[35] A visa for a stay longer than 90 days. | up to 1 year as of 2026-06-22[32][35] 'For a maximum of 1 year', which is also the s. 30(3) ceiling. | Yes as of 2026-06-22[32] Extendable repeatedly up to a 1-year total; beyond that the holder must apply for a long-term residence permit – either for family purposes or for family reunification. | authorisation required as of 2026-07-01[32][36] 'If you want to work in the Czech Republic with a visa for family purposes, you need to acquire a work permit.' Act No. 435/2004 Coll. s. 98(l) frees family members of long-term PERMIT holders, not of visa holders, so the exemption does not reach this instrument and a Labour Office work permit is required. This is the instrument the Digital Nomad Programme routes nomads' spouses onto. | Yes as of 2026-06-12[35] s. 68(2)(a) counts time on a long-term visa; this visa is not on the s. 68(3) exclusion list. |
| No as of 2026-06-12[35] s. 42a(7)(a) issues the family-reunification permit only where the sponsor holds a long-term or permanent residence permit. A long-term visa is neither, so the family cannot be brought on this instrument; the path runs through conversion to the corresponding long-term residence permit and then the s. 42a(7)(a) qualifying period. The holder is already the dependant on this instrument. | application: CZK 2,500 as of 2026-06-22[32] Consular fee, in local currency or by card. No fee is payable for a child under 6. | temporary permit holder, permanent resident as of 2026-06-22[32] | Recorded at the source, but not reducible to a single value | Yes as of 2026-06-12[35] s. 31(1)(d) requires proof of accommodation for the duration of the stay for any long-term visa. | Not recorded |
| Denmark Accompanying family members to students, PhDs and persons having or applying for a residence permit to obtain a Danish authorisation | Active as of 2026-06-29[52] | residence permit as of 2026-06-29[52] | Not applicable[52] Normally the same period as the sponsor's permit. | Yes as of 2026-06-29[52] | full as of 2026-06-29[52] | Not established from a qualifying source[52][62] |
| No as of 2026-06-29[52] | application: DKK 3,080 as of 2026-06-29[52] | specific permits as of 2026-06-29[52] A sponsor from a country outside the EU and EEA who is in Denmark to study, to do a PhD, or to obtain or apply for a Danish authorisation. | DKK 7,426 per month measured over 12 months as of 2026-06-29[52] | No as of 2026-06-29[52] None stated. | Not recorded |
| Denmark Accompanying family member to an employee | Active as of 2026-07-23[53] | residence permit as of 2026-07-23[53] | Not applicable[53] The same period as the sponsor's permit, and at most that period. No independent term exists. | Yes as of 2026-07-23[53] At the earliest 3 months before expiry. An accompanying child granted a first permit before turning 18 may have it extended after turning 18, but only while still living at the sponsor's address. | full as of 2026-07-23[53] | Not established from a qualifying source[53][62] |
| No as of 2026-07-23[53] The holder is themselves an accompanying family member; no onward inclusion is described. | application: DKK 3,080 as of 2026-07-23[53] | specific permits as of 2026-07-23[53] The sponsor is a foreign national residing in Denmark to work, on one of SIRI's work schemes – not a citizen, not a permanent resident. 'specific_permits' is the vocabulary value that says so. | Recorded at the source, but not reducible to a single value[53] Researched and sourced; one amount cannot hold the rule, because the rule turns on which scheme the sponsor is on. SIRI states the principle in terms: where the sponsor has a residence and work permit on the basis of salaried employment, financial support is not a requirement and need not be documented. It IS required where the sponsor holds or is applying under the guest researcher scheme, Start-up Denmark, the Special individual qualifications scheme, or an establishment card – and the amount then differs by scheme, by relation and by whether the family applies with the sponsor or after. Start-up Denmark and guest researcher, all labelled '(2025 level)': DKK 306,480 for a partner applying with the sponsor, 356,904 with partner and children, 203,664 for a child applying with the sponsor, 153,240 for a partner applying after, 203,664 for a partner and children applying after, 50,424 for a child applying after. Establishment card, monthly and capped at twelve months, also '(2025 level)': DKK 8,231 a month (DKK 98,772 a year) for a partner, 16,222 (194,664) for a partner and one or more children, 7,991 (95,892) for children alone. For the Special individual qualifications scheme SIRI states the requirement and publishes no figure. Documentation is a bank statement in the sponsor's name, no more than 30 days old. | No as of 2026-07-23[53] None stated. The condition in its place is shared residence with the sponsor, recorded as a presence rule. | Not recorded |
| Denmark EU residence as a family member of an EU citizen | Active as of 2026-07-23[54] | residence card as of 2026-07-23[54] Not a residence permit. SIRI issues an EU residence document, and a third-country family member additionally receives a residence card. 'residence_card' is the closest value; the underlying point is that the document records a right that already exists rather than granting one. | Not applicable[54] The right lasts as long as its conditions are met. An EU-citizen holder's residence document carries no expiry date at all; a third-country holder's residence card does carry one. | Not established from a qualifying source[54] Not framed as renewal: the right subsists while the conditions hold. | full as of 2026-07-23[54] An EU-citizen family member may work on arrival with no permit. A third-country family member has the same rights to reside and work as the EU citizen, and may reside while the application is processed – but SIRI states expressly that whether they may WORK during processing depends on whether the conditions are in fact met, that working is at the applicant's own risk, and that criminal liability for illegal work can follow if it turns out they were not. | Yes as of 2026-07-23[54] The only route in this record whose own page states the permanent-residence consequence: the right to permanent residence arises after at least five years of actual and real residence in Denmark under EU regulations. |
| No as of 2026-07-23[54] SIRI states the rule against onward derivation: where the holder's own grounds are as a family member, their family cannot get EU residence based on their relationship with them. The exception is once the original family member has acquired permanent EU residence, at which point they can themselves sponsor. | application: DKK 0 as of 2026-07-23[54] | specific permits, permanent resident as of 2026-07-23[54] The sponsor must be residing in Denmark under EU regulations as a worker, a student, a self-employed person, a person with sufficient funds or a posted service provider, or hold permanent residence under EU regulations. SIRI states one exclusion explicitly: the sponsor's own grounds may not themselves be as a family member of an EU citizen. Neither vocabulary value fits well – the sponsor is not a Danish permit holder at all – and the entry records the two closest. A family member of a DANISH citizen is a different route, covered by special rules where that citizen has resided in another EU country, and outside EU regulations altogether where they have not. | Not applicable[54] No figure. The sponsor must normally be able to support themselves and their family, and receipt of Active Social Policy Act benefits can terminate the right of residence for either party – with an important qualification SIRI states in terms: where the sponsor is a worker under EU law, or has retained worker status despite no longer working, receiving those benefits will normally not in itself terminate the right of residence for the sponsor or the family member. | No as of 2026-07-23[54] None stated. | Not recorded |
| Denmark Family reunification as a child | Active as of 2026-02-12[57] | residence permit as of 2026-02-12[57] | Not applicable[57] Typically valid until the child turns 18, so the term is a function of the child's age rather than a fixed number. Where the parent holds a temporary permit the child's permit expires when the parent's does. | Not established from a qualifying source[57] | Not established from a qualifying source[57] | Yes as of 2026-07-07[55][57][62] Section 9(1)(2) and section 9 c(1) both fall inside the range of sections the permanent-residence page enumerates. The page adds a point of its own: when the child turns 18 it may be possible to obtain a permanent residence permit on relaxed requirements, which it does not detail. |
| No as of 2026-02-12[57] The applicant is a minor child; the page states as an eligibility condition that the child may not have started a family of their own, by cohabiting or by having a child. | application: DKK 8,490 as of 2026-02-12[57] | citizen, permanent resident, temporary permit holder as of 2026-02-12[57] A parent who is a citizen of Denmark or another Nordic country; or holds a permanent Danish residence permit for any reason other than asylum; or holds a temporary permit that carries the possibility of becoming permanent – the Immigration Service states that the permit letter itself says which. The parent must have custody, and joint custody suffices. | Not applicable[55][57] | Recorded at the source, but not reducible to a single value[55][57] | Not recorded |
| Denmark Family reunification as a family member other than a spouse or child | Active as of 2026-02-12[58] Active but, on the authority's own statement, rarely successful: 'The provision is administered restrictively and applicants for a residence permit issued on these grounds are rarely approved.' | residence permit as of 2026-02-12[58] | 2 years as of 2026-02-12[58] Typically valid for two years, extendable while the requirements are still met. 'Typically', not 'up to'. | Yes as of 2026-02-12[58] | full as of 2026-02-12[58] The holder may work for the same period as the permit is valid. | Not established from a qualifying source[58][62] |
| Not established from a qualifying source[58] | application: DKK 8,490 as of 2026-02-12[58] | citizen, permanent resident, temporary permit holder as of 2026-02-12[58] A citizen of Denmark or a Nordic country, or a holder of a Danish residence permit – the page states no permit type and no waiting period, which is looser on its face than any other family route here and tighter in practice, because the substantive test does the work. | Not applicable[58] No income condition, no housing condition, no age condition and no language condition is stated. The assessment is discretionary throughout. | No as of 2026-02-12[58] None stated. | Not recorded |
| Denmark Family reunification as a spouse | Active as of 2026-02-12[59] | residence permit as of 2026-02-12[59] | 2 years as of 2026-02-12[59] Typically valid for two years – the page says 'typically', not 'up to', so no bound marker is recorded. | Yes as of 2025-12-03[60] | full as of 2026-02-12[59] The holder may work while the permit is valid; no separate work permit and no restriction is stated. | Yes as of 2026-07-07[55][62] Permanent residence counts eight years' uninterrupted legal residence on a permit under Aliens Act sections 7-9 f, 9 i-9 n, 9 p or 9 q (1) or (2), and this permit is granted under section 9, inside that range. Neither the application page nor the extension page states the point; it follows from the two provisions read together. The 'transferred requirements for permanent residence' the pages do mention are a condition imposed on the sponsor, which is a different question. | Not established from a qualifying source[59] | application: DKK 8,490 as of 2026-02-12[59] | citizen, permanent resident, temporary permit holder as of 2026-02-12[55][59] | Not applicable[55][56][59] There is no income floor on this route, and recording one would misstate it. What the Act imposes instead is a benefits condition and a collateral: section 9(5) bars a permit where the sponsor has received aid under the Active Social Policy Act or the Integration Act in the three years before the decision, and bars either party from receiving such aid until permanent residence – the page warns that even short periods on cash benefits in that window are enough – while section 9(4) requires the sponsor to post a financial guarantee. Minor one-off benefits and payments equivalent to a wage or a pension are excluded from the bar. | Yes as of 2026-02-12[55][59] Aliens Act section 9(6). Three limbs. The sponsor must have an independent, reasonably sized dwelling at their disposal – independent meaning its own entrance and appearance as one unit, with no kitchen or bathroom required; at their disposal meaning owned, rented or sublet, with a housing-association share counting. Reasonably sized is met by either of two tests: the number of people living there may not exceed double the number of rooms, or there must be at least 20 square metres of living space per person. Second limb: at the time the application is submitted the dwelling must not lie in an area on the housing-requirement list published by the Minister for Social Affairs and Housing every 1 December. Third limb: neither party may move into such an area before permanent residence. The list's timing is asymmetric between the two stages – at first grant, a later listing of the area does not break the requirement, while at extension it does. Where the sponsor lives abroad or has recently returned, the deadline can be extended by up to six months after the applicant is granted a permit, normally on condition that the application is made within a month of returning. | 3 years as of 2026-02-12[55][59] Only where the sponsor qualifies through permanent residence (section 9(1)(1) litra e): three years' holding of the permanent permit, plus what the page calls the transferred requirements for a permanent residence permit. One year instead for an economically active Turkish national granted permanent residence on an application submitted on or after 15 March 2017. A Danish or Nordic citizen sponsor has no waiting period. | |

| Finland Residence permit on the basis of an intimate relationship | Active as of 2026-08-21[83][85] | residence permit as of 2026-08-21[84][88] | Not established from a qualifying source Migri's page states no term for this permit. | Yes as of 2026-08-21[83] Migri refers to applying for an extended permit on this ground. | authorisation required as of 2026-08-21[83] Migri: 'your right to work is restricted'. It is confined to six named categories – expert duties requiring special expertise and paying at least the average wage-earner's gross earnings; top or middle management of a company; an international organisation or official cooperation between states; professional athlete, coach or sports referee; professional work in culture or the arts; and service of a religious community in a position involving practising the religion. Mapped to authorisation_required because the right exists only within a defined list, which none of the other vocabulary values describes. The salary figure Migri attaches to the first category is EUR 3,473 per month 'in 2023' – three annual reviews out of date at access; see RM-FI-10. | Not established from a qualifying source |
| Not established from a qualifying source Not established; Migri's page says nothing about dependants. | application: EUR 520 as of 2026-08-21[83] | citizen, permanent resident, temporary permit holder as of 2026-08-21[80][83] Migri states only that the partner lives in Finland, without qualifying their status. All three status values that describe a person living in Finland are therefore recorded; 'specific_permits' is not, because no source narrows the partner's permit type. Note that the partner's income is expressly disregarded precisely because Finnish law does not treat them as a family member, which is what makes 'sponsor' a term of art here. | Not applicable Not applicable by design, and the reason matters: Migri states that the applicant may not secure their means of support with the income or savings of the partner living in Finland, 'because under Finnish law, he or she is not considered to be your family member'. The means test on this route falls entirely on the applicant – see the disputed value below. | Not recorded | Not recorded |

| Not established from a qualifying source | application: EUR 750 as of 2026-08-21[87] | temporary permit holder, permanent resident as of 2026-08-21[87] Migri's condition is simply that the spouse 'has a residence permit in Finland', or is applying at the same time as the applicant. It does not distinguish permit types, so both vocabulary values that describe a permit holder are recorded; 'citizen' is the sibling route fi-family-spouse-finnish-citizen. | Recorded at the source, but not reducible to a single value[81][87] | Not recorded | Not recorded |

The whole point of the « famille accompagnante » route is that the family applies alongside the principal rather than after a qualifying period of the principal's residence, which is what distinguishes it from regroupement familial. |
| France Regroupement familial | Active as of 2026-06-01[91][94] | national visa as of 2026-06-01[91] The procedure itself authorises the family's entry; the joining spouse then receives a VLS-TS which serves as a residence permit for the first year in France, and minor children enter on a visa marked « regroupement familial ». | Not established from a qualifying source | Not established from a qualifying source | Not established from a qualifying source | Not established from a qualifying source |

Four derogations align it instead with the sponsor's title: the family of an EU Blue Card holder, of an intra-corporate transferee, of a long-term-mobility holder, and of a researcher exercising mobility. Guichet adds that family members of a family already established in another member state, joining a long-term resident exercising residence rights in Luxembourg, receive a five-year permit. | Yes as of 2026-06-12[137][138] Art. 74(1): renewable on request as long as the conditions of grant remain met. Guichet: applications are filed within two months of the expiry date. | full as of 2026-06-12[137][138] Art. 74(2): from issue, the permit confers access to education and vocational guidance, to training, to advanced training and retraining, and the right to carry on a salaried or self-employed activity.

There is no waiting period for the art. 70(1) relations, which is what makes this field a partial statement of the rule; guichet lists the further exemptions – sponsors bringing minor children of whom they have sole custody, and sponsors holding an EU Blue Card, a transferred-worker or a researcher permit, or long-term resident status in another member state whose family was already established there, who may be accompanied on entry. |
| Malta Family Reunification | Active as of 2026-08-07[147][152] | residence permit as of 2026-08-07[147][152] Reg. 14(2): family members are granted a first residence permit of at least one year's duration, which is renewable. | 1 year as of 2010-07-22[152] Reg. 14(2): family members are granted a first residence permit of at least one year's duration, provided that the duration granted shall, in principle, not extend beyond the expiry date of the residence permit held by the sponsor. | Yes as of 2010-07-22[152] Reg. 14(2). Reg. 19 allows the Director to withdraw or refuse to renew where the sponsor's residence comes to an end and the family member does not yet enjoy an autonomous right of residence under regs. 16 and 17. Reg. 18(a) proviso: on renewal the family members' contributions to household income are taken into account where the sponsor fails to prove sufficient resources without recourse to social assistance. | authorisation required as of 2010-07-22[152] Reg. 15: family members are entitled, in the same way as the sponsor, to access to education, to employment and self-employed activity, and to vocational guidance and training. The proviso qualifies this: where the sponsor has access to employment and self-employment without an assessment of the labour market situation, family members do not have equal access for the first twelve months following their arrival in Malta, and during those twelve months their access is subject to an assessment of the labour market situation and to an employment licence. Reg. 23(e) of S.L. 217.22 removes any such time limit for researchers' family members, and reg. 15(6) of S.L. 217.27 does the same for EU Blue Card holders' family members. | Not established from a qualifying source S.L. 217.06 does not address EU long-term resident status. It provides instead for an autonomous residence permit: reg. 16(1) entitles the spouse, or a child who has reached majority, to an autonomous residence permit on application after five years' residence in Malta, provided the family member has not been granted a residence permit for reasons other than family reunification, the Director being able to limit the grant to the spouse alone where the marriage has broken down. Reg. 16(2): the autonomous permit is valid for one year and is renewable. Reg. 17 requires an autonomous permit to be issued to a widow or widower and to minor and adult children on the death of the sponsor, and to a person in particularly difficult circumstances following the breakdown of the marriage, including domestic violence against spouses and children, forced marriage, and the forced return by the sponsor of family members to the country of origin. |

Maltese citizens and Union citizens are outside the instrument, and reg. 3(2) excludes applicants for refugee status, persons on temporary protection or awaiting a decision on it, and persons on a subsidiary form of protection or awaiting a decision on it. The class is therefore holders of an ordinary Maltese residence permit meeting the reg. 3(1) qualifying test, recorded through sponsor_qualifier. | 1 × average annual gross salary (Labour Force Survey) per year as of 2024-09-20[151][152] | Yes as of 2024-09-20[151][152] Reg. 12(b): accommodation regarded as normal for a comparable family in Malta and meeting the general health and safety standards in force in Malta. Identita's form G.01 requires an architect attestation, a copy of the lease agreement and a copy of the Housing Authority's approval letter registering the lease. Reg. 12(c) additionally requires sickness insurance in respect of all risks for the sponsor and the members of his family, and form G.01 sets the documentary standard at a policy with a minimum coverage limit of EUR 100,000 covering medical treatment including hospitalisation in Malta and, if necessary, other European countries, valid for the entire first year of the residence permit. Reg. 26(1) exempts a refugee whose family relationship pre-dated entry from reg. 12(b), (c) and (d), and reg. 27(1)(b) deems a late-applying refugee's resources sufficient if equivalent to the statutory minimum wage in Malta. | 2 years as of 2024-09-20[151][152] |

The one exception stated is for dependants who are students of the Institute of Tourism Studies, MCAST or the University of Malta taking up an apprenticeship, placement or internship under Cap. 576, who may keep the same residence permit and be issued a Jobsplus licence covering that activity. | Not established from a qualifying source The policy does not address long-term residence. |

It does not apply to third-country nationals whose residence authorisations will not be extended beyond one year. | 1 × median annual basic salary per year as of 2025-04-04[148] | Not established from a qualifying source The policy does not state an accommodation condition. It does require, for each dependant, a health insurance policy with a minimum coverage limit of EUR 100,000 covering outpatient and inpatient treatment including hospitalisation in Malta and other European countries, valid for the entire validity of the residence permit, and, for children of compulsory schooling age, an application for private schooling in Malta. | 12 months as of 2025-04-04[148] A sponsor may submit an application for family reunification only after a minimum of twelve calendar months from the issuance date of his initial residence permit; applications submitted before that period are considered inadmissible. The sponsor must hold a residence permit with a minimum validity of one year. Identita will consider waiving the twelve-month period where the sponsor holds a single permit on the basis of the Key Employee Initiative or the Specialist Employee Initiative. |

DL 1350 art. 29.2 lit. k says the same. No extraordinary work permit and no labour-contract approval step is needed to work on it, which makes it the widest work grant available to a dependant in the Peruvian system | Yes as of 2024-11-27[172][174][175][176] Reglamento art. 65.4 (as amended by DS 002-2021-IN) lists the calidades whose holders may change to permanente — religioso, inversionista, trabajador, investigación, familiar de residente, consular, diplomático, oficial and familiar oficial — and this one is among them. DL 1350 art. 29.2 lit. o sets the condition: three years as a legal resident. The TUPA procedure is 'Cambio de Calidad Migratoria Permanente Residente'.

Peru's own word is "residente", which spans both the indefinite permanente calidad and the renewable one-year residence calidades — hence both `permanent_resident` and `temporary_permit_holder`. What it does not span is a holder of a *temporary* calidad migratoria (DL 1350 art. 29.1, entry "sin ánimo de residencia"), who cannot sponsor at all. The mapping is recorded here because the vocabulary's three statuses do not line up with Peru's two | Not applicable as of 2023-11-14[171][175][176] No income, maintenance or accommodation condition on the sponsor appears in DL 1350 arts. 29.2 lit. k or 38, in Reglamento art. 89, or in any of the four TUPA requirement lists, which are exhaustive on their face. What MIGRACIONES may assess instead is the genuineness of the relationship: DL 1350 art. 29.2 lit. k gives it the power to evaluate the "solvencia/arraigo del vínculo matrimonial o unión de hecho" — the soundness or rootedness of the marriage or union — which is a discretionary test of the bond, not a financial threshold | No as of 2023-11-14[171][175][176] No accommodation condition appears in the statute, the Reglamento or the TUPA requirement lists | Not applicable as of 2023-11-14[171][175][176] No qualifying period is imposed on the sponsor before the family member may apply. Neither DL 1350 art. 38, nor Reglamento art. 89, nor the TUPA requires the sponsoring resident to have held residence for any minimum time — only, where the sponsor is a foreign national, that the residence be current and regular (art. 89.2) |

Pkt 15 and 16 of that article may reach some art. 160 applicants by their relationship to a Polish citizen rather than by their permit, but the fit is not clean and no Tier-1 source was found stating the answer for the art. 160 permit as such. Recorded unknown rather than guessed. | Yes as of 2026-04-07[177] Art. 212 ust. 2 does not name this permit among the excluded stays. |

Art. 160 pkt 2 requires art. 159 ust. 1 pkt 2 AND pkt 3. The condition is on the applicant rather than strictly on the sponsor, and art. 163 ust. 2 allows a maintaining family member resident in Poland to cover it. | No as of 2026-04-07[177] Art. 160 pkt 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 require only art. 159 ust. 1 pkt 2, not pkt 3, so no accommodation condition attaches to them.

Two special cases carry their own terms – the art. 158a permit for a child or dependent parent of a Polish frontier worker is granted for up to 1 year (art. 162 ust. 1), and the further permit granted after divorce, separation, widowhood or the death of the child's parent is granted once for up to 3 years (art. 158 ust. 3). | Yes as of 2026-04-07[177] | full as of 2026-08-07[183] Art. 3 ust. 1 pkt 15 and 16 of the Act of 20 March 2025: the spouse of a Polish citizen holding a temporary residence permit granted in connection with the marriage, and a descendant of a Polish citizen under 21 or dependent, have free access to the Polish labour market. Pkt 14 separately covers the further permits granted under art. 158 ust. 2 pkt 1 and 2 after divorce or widowhood. | Yes as of 2026-04-07[177] Art. 212 ust. 2 does not name this permit among the excluded stays. A spouse of a Polish citizen also has a shorter road: art. 195 ust. 1 pkt 4 grants the permanent residence permit after 3 years of marriage and 2 years' continuous residence on temporary permits, which is a different instrument from the 5-year EU long-term resident permit recorded at country level. |
| Yes as of 2026-04-07[177] Art. 159 ust. 1 pkt 1 lit. e: a family member may be granted a temporary residence permit for family reunification where the sponsor has resided in Poland for at least 2 years on successive temporary residence permits and holds, immediately before the application, a permit granted for a period of not less than 1 year. This route is not one of the bases in lit. a-d or f-i that carry no waiting period.

No income, accommodation or waiting-period condition is attached – art. 158 states the conditions exhaustively and imposes only the marriage or the parental relationship, which makes this the least conditioned family route in Polish law. | Not recorded | No as of 2026-04-07[177] Art. 158 and art. 158a state the conditions exhaustively and impose no accommodation condition, in contrast with art. 159 ust. 1 pkt 3.

Art. 107.º/2 is the exception: the family member of a permanent-residence holder receives a permit valid for two years. The rule is carried by initial_duration_basis. | Yes as of 2025-10-22[188] | full as of 2025-10-22[188] | Yes as of 2025-10-22[184][188] REPSAE art. 80.º/1/a) requires five years' holding of a temporary residence permit and states no exclusion for this route. | Not established from a qualifying source | application: Not established from a qualifying source | temporary permit holder, permanent resident as of 2025-10-22[188] | 1 × guaranteed minimum monthly remuneration (national minimum wage) per month as of 2026-08-07[186][187][188] | Yes as of 2025-10-22[188] | 2 years as of 2025-10-22[188] | |
| Romania Family member of a Romanian citizen — long-stay visa D/VF | Active as of 2026-08-25[190][191] IGI's permit page sets out four document sets for this instrument and the Ministry's catalogue lists the categories who may apply, both in the present tense. | residence permit as of 2026-08-25[191] A D/VF long-stay visa, then a residence permit; and after five years a long-term residence permit valid 10 years, against 5 years for every other purpose. | Not established from a qualifying source Not established as a single figure for the first grant. IGI states two rules and neither is a plain initial term: the spouse and family members of a Romanian citizen may have the temporary residence right extended FOR PERIODS OF UP TO 5 YEARS; and a family member of a Romanian citizen DOMICILED ABROAD has it extended for a period not exceeding the validity of that citizen's provisional identity card. | Yes as of 2026-08-25[191] The permit as a family member of a Romanian citizen is renewed at least 30 days before the previous one expires. | Not established from a qualifying source | Yes as of 2026-08-25[194] IGI: the long-term residence right may be obtained as a family member of a Romanian citizen as well as for the other purposes of stay, and THE LONG-TERM RESIDENCE PERMIT IS VALID 10 YEARS in that case against 5 for every other purpose – the only place in this record where the family relationship changes the document rather than the conditions. |
| Yes as of 2026-08-25[191] An INDEPENDENT residence right is granted to family members who held a temporary permit but no longer meet the conditions on which it was granted – they come of age, or reach 21 where the sponsor is a Romanian citizen, or the Romanian citizen has died, or the marriage has been dissolved, or the partnership has ended. It is also granted on request to holders of a family-reunification permit, or to those who held one in the last 5 years. THE INDEPENDENT PERMIT IS VALID 6 MONTHS, during which the holder may orient themselves towards another purpose of stay – a soft landing rather than a right to remain. | application: EUR 0 one-off as of 2026-08-25[190] | citizen as of 2026-08-25[190][191] The sponsor is a Romanian citizen. The Ministry adds a sixth category that is not about the Romanian citizen's status but about the family member's: foreigners who are family members of Romanian citizens and prove they are REGISTERED WITH A RIGHT OF RESIDENCE IN ANOTHER MEMBER STATE in that capacity. | Not applicable No means test. IGI's four document sets for family members of Romanian citizens ask for the marriage or birth certificate, the Romanian citizen's identity document, proof of lawful possession of the dwelling at the declared residence, proof of social health insurance and a medical certificate – and, for the spouse, a written declaration that the foreigner has no other marriage subsisting. Proof of means appears in none of the four, where the equivalent lists for a foreign sponsor's family members ask for it expressly. Recorded not_applicable rather than unknown because the contrast is drawn on the same page between the two instruments. | Yes as of 2026-08-25[191] Proof of lawful possession of the dwelling at the address the applicant declares as their residence in Romania, in original and copy, is in all four document sets. It is stated as an accommodation condition and not, as on the reunification route, as a dwelling 'considered normal for a similar family in Romania'. | Not recorded |
| Romania Family reunification — long-stay visa D/VF | Active as of 2026-08-25[190][193] IGI's reunification-approval page and the Ministry's catalogue both set out the conditions and the eligible relations in the present tense. | residence permit as of 2026-08-25[191][193] IGI's aviz first, then a D/VF long-stay visa issued by the mission in the state where the family members reside, then a residence permit. | Not established from a qualifying source No single number, and the rule is relational. IGI: the temporary residence right is extended INDIVIDUALLY, FOR EACH FAMILY MEMBER, FOR THE SAME PERIOD AS THAT GRANTED TO THE SPONSOR. One exception is stated: family members of a sponsor holding a LONG-TERM residence right may have the temporary residence right extended for periods of up to 5 years. The relation is carried by initial_duration_basis. | Yes as of 2026-08-25[191] The permit is renewed at least 30 days before the previous one expires. | Not established from a qualifying source | Yes as of 2026-08-25[194] IGI publishes the categories to which the long-term residence right is NOT granted as a closed list: holders of temporary residence for studies; applicants for and beneficiaries of temporary protection; applicants for and beneficiaries of protection other than international protection; applicants for international protection; holders of a residence right conferred by a short-stay, diplomatic or service visa; and holders of a right obtained to work as a seasonal worker or an au-pair worker. This route is not in that list. IGI's long-term residence page also names 'munca' among the purposes of stay from which the right may be obtained. IGI names 'reintregirea familiei' expressly among the purposes of stay from which the long-term residence right may be obtained. |
| Yes as of 2026-08-25[191] The family route carries its own succession rule rather than a nested reunification right: IGI grants an INDEPENDENT residence right to family members whose qualifying conditions have fallen away. | application: EUR 300 one-off as of 2026-08-25[189][193] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs fee page states the long-stay visa fee (symbol D) is 300 euro, and states in terms that this figure applies to applications sent for validation to Romanian missions through the e-Viza portal from 27 April 2026, applications sent before that date being charged 120 euro. It is a single fee for every long-stay visa symbol, not a per-purpose one. Ukrainian citizens are exempt from the long-stay visa fee under a bilateral agreement in force since 21 October 2016, and so are family members of Romanian, EU, EEA and Swiss citizens who accompany or join them. | temporary permit holder, permanent resident, specific permits as of 2026-08-25[190][193][196] IGI states the list closed: the sponsor must hold a temporary residence permit VALID ONE YEAR, an EU Blue Card, an ICT permit, a 'mobile ICT' permit, a long-term residence permit, or be a beneficiary of refugee status or subsidiary protection. Article 2 lit. e) adds the qualification that the sponsor's permit must be one OTHER THAN a permit for family reunification, which forecloses chain reunification. 'citizen' is deliberately absent: family members of Romanian citizens are a separate instrument and are recorded at ro-membru-familie-cetatean-roman. FOUR CATEGORIES ESCAPE THE ONE-YEAR RULE and both publishers state it twice: holders of a residence right for scientific research and holders of the EU Blue Card, the ICT permit or the 'mobile ICT' permit may apply even where the permit's validity is less than one year. | 1 × national minimum gross base wage guaranteed in payment per month as of 2026-08-25[193] IGI states it per member and on top of the sponsor's own: the applicant must possess means of maintenance, IN ADDITION TO those needed for their own maintenance according to the law, in an amount corresponding to the national minimum gross base wage guaranteed in payment FOR EACH FAMILY MEMBER. Beneficiaries of refugee status or subsidiary protection are exempt from proving means, accommodation and health insurance. | Yes as of 2026-08-25[193] The sponsor must hold a dwelling CONSIDERED NORMAL FOR A SIMILAR FAMILY IN ROMANIA. Refugees and beneficiaries of subsidiary protection are exempt. | Recorded at the source, but not reducible to a single value as of 2026-08-25[190][193] Romania states the sponsor's qualification as a PERMIT VALIDITY THRESHOLD, not as a period of prior residence: the sponsor must hold a temporary permit valid one year, which a person can hold on the day they arrive if the permit is issued for a year. This field holds a duration of prior residence and there is none to record; recording 12 months would assert a waiting period Romania does not impose, and recording nothing would lose the threshold. The threshold itself is in sponsor_statuses and in sponsor_qualifier. |
| Slovakia Permanent residence for five years | Active as of 2026-08-24[228][232] | residence permit as of 2026-08-24[232] Permanent residence granted for a fixed five-year term, from which the holder moves to permanent residence for an unlimited period after four years. | 5 years as of 2026-08-24[228][232] Five years, and the Act names the instrument after the term rather than setting a ceiling under it — which is why the bound is exact rather than maximum, the only route on this record so marked. | Yes as of 2026-08-24[233] Succeeded rather than renewed in the ordinary sense: after four years of five-year permanent residence the holder may apply for permanent residence for an unlimited period under § 46 ods. 1 písm. a), and the five-year residence stays valid until that application is decided. | full as of 2026-08-24[227][235] | Yes as of 2026-08-24[233] It is permanent residence, and it is the statutory way into the unlimited form: § 46 ods. 1 písm. a) grants permanent residence for an unlimited period to a third-country national who has held five-year permanent residence under § 43 for at least four years, provided there are no grounds for refusal under § 48 ods. 2. | Yes as of 2026-08-24[232] The route is itself the family route, and it reproduces: § 43 ods. 1 písm. c) grants five-year permanent residence to the unmarried child under 18 of a third-country national who holds five-year permanent residence, and to a child under 18 entrusted to their personal care. | application: EUR 250 one-off as of 2026-08-24[229][232] Item 242 c) of the consular tariff, for an application at a Slovak mission abroad. Two exemptions are stated by the Border and Aliens Police and both matter: the spouse of a Slovak citizen with permanent residence in Slovakia and their dependent direct relative — the § 43 ods. 1 písm. a) ground — pay nothing, and persons under 18 pay nothing. So the commonest family route into Slovakia is free at the point of application. | citizen, permanent resident as of 2026-08-24[232] § 43 ods. 1 gives five grounds and they run across two sponsor classes. A Slovak CITIZEN with permanent residence in Slovakia sponsors their spouse and their dependent direct relative (písm. a)), and their third-country spouse's unmarried child under 18 entrusted to that spouse's personal care (písm. b)). A third-country PERMANENT RESIDENT sponsors their unmarried child under 18 or a child under 18 entrusted to their personal care (písm. c)) and their dependent child over 18 with a long-term adverse state of health (písm. d)). The fifth ground, písm. e), is the interest of the Slovak Republic, certified by a central state administration body — not a family ground at all, and recorded in this route's note rather than given a sponsor class it does not have. | Not applicable[231][232] A sourced absence on a closed enumeration. § 45 ods. 3 lists what the applicant attaches to a five-year permanent residence application — proof of the § 43 ground, good character, the non-custodial parent's consent where § 43 ods. 2 applies, and accommodation — and carries no financial-security item; the Border and Aliens Police's own statement of the financial-security condition is addressed to prechodný pobyt purposes and does not reach § 43. Slovakia therefore appears to impose no means test on family-based permanent residence, which is a materially different position from the § 27 temporary route, where the sponsor must undertake to support the applicant. | Recorded at the source, but not reducible to a single value[232] | Not established from a qualifying source | |
| Slovakia Temporary residence for the purpose of family reunification | Active as of 2026-08-24[228][234] | residence permit as of 2026-08-24[228] | up to 5 years as of 2026-08-24[228][234] Granted until the expiry of the residence of the person the applicant claims reunification with, and for no longer than five years. The term is therefore derived from the sponsor's permit and capped, not granted independently. | Not established from a qualifying source | authorisation required as of 2026-08-24[227][235] § 23a ods. 1 písm. c) of the Employment Services Act: no work permit and no labour-office confirmation are needed after nine months of uninterrupted residence in Slovakia counted from the grant of the family-reunification residence. Before then a separate permission is required, which is what authorisation_required records. The nine months fall away entirely for the family member of an EU Blue Card holder, of an intra-corporate transferee, of a holder of research-and-development residence, and of a person present under employee or researcher mobility — for those four the right is immediate. | Not established from a qualifying source | Not established from a qualifying source Not established. Whether a holder of family-reunification residence may in turn sponsor another family member was not sourced; the financial-security provision describes the sponsor as a holder of temporary or permanent residence without qualifying which kind. | application: EUR 200 one-off as of 2026-08-24[229][234] | permanent resident, temporary permit holder as of 2026-08-24[231][234] § 32 ods. 6 písm. g) describes the sponsor in terms: a third-country national who has been granted permanent residence or temporary residence under this Act, or who is applying for either, and with whom reunification is sought. The police document list requires a copy of the sponsor's residence document. A Slovak citizen is not a sponsor under this route: the spouse or dependent direct relative of a Slovak citizen with permanent residence in Slovakia applies instead for five-year permanent residence under § 43, recorded here as sk-trvaly-pobyt-5-rokov-rodina. That boundary is the single most important thing to get right about family migration to Slovakia. | Recorded at the source, but not reducible to a single value[231] | Recorded at the source, but not reducible to a single value[234] | Not established from a qualifying source | |
| Slovenia Residence permit for a non-EU family member of a Slovenian or EU citizen | Active as of 2026-08-25[216][220] | residence permit as of 2026-08-25[220] | 5 years as of 2026-08-25[220] Issued for a period of five years with the possibility of extension. This is the longest first-issue term of any permit in the Slovenian record and is recorded as exact because the Ministry states a flat figure rather than a ceiling. | Yes as of 2026-08-25[220] | full as of 2026-08-25[214] The Employment Service's enumeration of the categories with free access to the Slovenian labour market includes a third-country national residing on the basis of temporary residence for family reunification with a Slovenian citizen, and family members of EU/EEA/Swiss citizens holding a family-member temporary residence permit or a long-stay visa. Free access means work, employment or self-employment without consent to a single permit or Blue Card and without a seasonal work permit, unless a treaty binding Slovenia provides otherwise. | Not established from a qualifying source Not established. |
| Not applicable This route is itself a family-member permit. | application: EUR 50 one-off as of 2026-08-25[224] | citizen as of 2026-08-25[216][220] A Slovenian citizen or a citizen of another EU member state. this sponsor class lives here and not on si-zdruzitev-druzine, which is the article 47 route for sponsors who are themselves foreigners. | 2 × average monthly net salary in the Republic of Slovenia per month as of 2026-08-25[220] The Ministry states the means condition on this permit as twice the average monthly net salary in the Republic of Slovenia – a markedly higher figure than the basic-minimum-income test that article 33(3) applies to every other permit, and the same base the digital nomad route uses. It is disapplied in the case the same page names: the spouse of a Slovenian citizen is exempt from proving subsistence and health insurance where the Slovenian or EU citizen is employed or self-employed, which GOV.SI states in the same terms for EU citizens exercising free movement. | Not established from a qualifying source Not established; no accommodation condition is stated. | 0 months as of 2026-08-25[220] None. The right attaches to the citizen sponsor's status rather than to any period of prior residence, and the family member may apply at any point within the 90 days of visa-free residence after entry. |
| Slovenia Temporary residence permit for a family member of an EU Blue Card holder | Active as of 2026-08-25[217] | residence permit as of 2026-08-25[217] | Not established from a qualifying source No figure of its own. Article 47(6) as replaced ties it to the sponsor: the permit is issued and extended for the same period as the Blue Card, which is itself capped at two years on first issue. The duration_basis field carries the tie; no number is asserted here because the permit has none. | Yes as of 2026-08-25[217][225] | full as of 2026-08-25[217] The Ministry states it twice on the same page: family members of EU Blue Card holders have the right to enter the labour market in Slovenia, and the permit allows access to it. This is the only family-member permit in the Slovenian estate that carries labour-market access without a further authorisation, and it is also one of the categories the Ministry exempts from the survival-level Slovenian condition at extension. | Not established from a qualifying source Not established. |
| Not applicable This route is itself a family-member permit. | application: EUR 50 one-off as of 2026-08-25[224] | specific permits as of 2026-08-25[217] Two sponsor sub-types: a Blue Card issued in Slovenia, and a Blue Card previously issued in another EU member state together with a Slovenian intra-EU mobility permit. | Not established from a qualifying source Not established for this permit. The Ministry's page states no means condition of its own, and the general reunification page's six-month weighted mechanism is written for the article 47 route. | Not recorded | 0 months as of 2026-08-25[221][225] None. The fourth sentence of article 47(1) as replaced by ZTuj-2I article 29 names the EU Blue Card holder first among those who may reunite family members with no limit tied to residence length or permit validity, and the Ministry's Blue Card page states that the family application may be filed at the same time as the Blue Card application. |
| Slovenia Temporary residence permit for a family member of an intra-corporate transferee | Active as of 2026-08-25[218] | residence permit as of 2026-08-25[218] The card records the type as 'družinski član'. | Not established from a qualifying source No figure of its own: issued for the validity of the transferee's single permit, or for the duration of the transfer where the transfer comes from another EU member state. No absolute cap is stated on this page – though the sponsoring permit is itself capped at three years in total for managers and specialists and one year for trainees. | Not established from a qualifying source Not stated in terms; the form is headed 'Prošnja za izdajo ali podaljšanje'. | Not established from a qualifying source Not established; the page says nothing about work either way. | Not established from a qualifying source Not established. |

Type C, short-term transfer under article 45.č, cannot sponsor at all: 'Tujec na kratkotrajni premestitvi (tip C) ne more združevati družine!' | Not recorded | Not recorded | 0 months as of 2026-08-25[225] None for types A and B. The fourth sentence of article 47(1) as replaced by ZTuj-2I article 29 names holders of an intra-corporate-transfer single permit under articles 45.b and 45.d among those who may reunite family members with no limit tied to residence length or permit validity – and, consistently with the Ministry's page, it does not name article 45.č. |
| Slovenia Temporary residence permit for a family member of a researcher | Active as of 2026-08-25[219] | residence permit as of 2026-08-25[219] The card records the type as 'družinski član raziskovalca', or 'družinski član raziskovalca – mobilnost' where the researcher is on long-term transfer from another member state. | Not established from a qualifying source No figure of its own: issued for the validity of the researcher's permit, or for the duration of the researcher's mobility where the researcher comes from another EU member state. No absolute cap is stated on this page. | Not established from a qualifying source Not stated in terms. The application form is headed 'Prošnja za izdajo ali podaljšanje', so an extension procedure exists; no duration is published for it. | Not established from a qualifying source Not established. The Ministry's page for this permit says nothing about work either way. The general answer for family members – an informativni list after a labour-market test – is not simply carried across, because this is one of the categories the same portal exempts from the survival-level Slovenian condition and it is not the article 47 route. | Not established from a qualifying source Not established. |

Type C, a researcher on short-term transfer, cannot sponsor: the Ministry states that the permit is neither needed nor issued in that case. | Not recorded | Not recorded | 0 months as of 2026-08-25[225] None. The fourth sentence of article 47(1) as replaced by ZTuj-2I article 29 names holders of a permit for work in research, higher and tertiary education, and holders under article 38.b, among those who may reunite family members with no limit tied to residence length or permit validity. |
| Slovenia Temporary residence permit for family reunification | Active as of 2026-08-25[223] | residence permit as of 2026-08-25[223] The card records the permit type as 'družinski član'. | up to 2 years as of 2026-08-25[223][225] Article 47(6) as replaced: issued with the validity of the sponsor's permit, or until it expires, but for not more than two years. Two special cases in the same paragraph: a family member of a foreigner holding a permanent residence permit gets two years, and a family member of a Blue Card holder gets the same period as the Blue Card. | Yes as of 2026-08-25[223][225] | authorisation required as of 2026-08-25[214][215] Not free access. The Employment Service states that holders of a residence permit for a family member must obtain an informativni list through an employer, after a labour-market test, before working; and its own enumeration of the categories with free access to the labour market lists family reunification with a SLOVENIAN citizen but not family reunification with a third-country permit holder. Read as a sourced absence off a closed list. | Not established from a qualifying source Not established; the Ministry's permanent-residence page names study permits as the half-weight basis and does not enumerate the rest. |
| Not applicable This route is itself the family-reunification permit; the sponsor's own permit is what carries the reunification right, and that is recorded on each sponsoring route. | application: EUR 50 one-off as of 2026-08-25[224] | permanent resident, temporary permit holder, specific permits as of 2026-08-25[223][225] Article 47(1): the right belongs to a foreigner residing on a permanent residence permit and to a foreigner who has resided in Slovenia for the last year on a temporary residence permit issued with a validity of at least one year; the fourth sentence as replaced by ZTuj-2I article 29 adds the classes exempt from that wait. 'citizen' is deliberately not included: a family member of a Slovenian or EU citizen is reunited under article 128 on a different permit, which is recorded separately as si-druzinski-clan-slo-eu-drzavljana. | 1 × basic amount of minimum income per month measured over 6 months as of 2026-08-25[223] | No as of 2026-08-25[223] No accommodation or housing condition appears anywhere in the Ministry's enumeration of the conditions or of the documents for this permit – which is notable, because the same portal does state an employer accommodation declaration as a condition on the posted-worker, intra-corporate-transfer and traineeship permits, so the absence here is against a background of the portal stating such conditions where they exist. Sourced absence. | at least 1 year as of 2026-08-25[223][225] The sponsor must have resided in Slovenia for at least one year on a temporary residence permit and must at the same time hold one issued for at least one year. Time spent on an administrative unit's certificate of a filed application – for a first permit, a further permit or an extension – counts towards it. The waiting period does not apply at all to the classes named in the fourth sentence of article 47(1) as replaced: EU Blue Card holders, research and higher-education permit holders, holders under article 38.b, intra-corporate transferees under articles 45.b and 45.d, holders whose residence is in the interest of Slovenia, digital nomads, persons of Slovenian descent under article 48, and former beneficiaries of temporary protection, and – per the Ministry – both parents reuniting with a minor child. |

The general rule is that the application may be filed once the sponsor has resided in Spain for at least one year and has applied for authorisation to reside for at least another year; the authorisation cannot be granted to the relative until the sponsor's own renewal or long-term residence has actually been granted. Two exceptions dispense with the one-year rule: a sponsor holding a long-term or EU long-term residence authorisation granted in Spain, for the reunification of ascendants; and a sponsor resident in Spain on the basis of prior EU long-term resident status in another member state. Spanish citizens do not sponsor through this route – relatives of Spanish nationals have their own regime – so 'citizen' is not recorded. The sheet does not enumerate which permit TYPES qualify. | 1.50 × Public Multiple-Effect Income Indicator per month as of 2025-05-01[78] | Yes as of 2025-05-01[78] Adequate housing must be available, evidenced by a report issued by the competent body of the autonomous community of the sponsor's residence, or by the local authority where the autonomous community has so provided. Where no report is issued and notified within one month of the request, the requirement may be justified by any means of proof admissible in law. The report or its substitute may be no more than six months old at the date of the reunification application. Health insurance for the sponsor and the reunified family members is also required. | 1 year as of 2025-05-01[78] One year of prior residence in Spain by the sponsor, subject to the two exceptions recorded on sponsor_statuses. | |

The Union citizen must be an employed or self-employed worker in Spain, or have sufficient resources for themselves and their family not to become a burden on Spanish social assistance during their period of residence together with public or private health insurance, or be a student enrolled at a recognised or publicly funded centre. Sufficiency of resources is treated as evidenced where the resources exceed the amount fixed each year by the State Budget Law for entitlement to a non-contributory benefit. That amount is not published on any source retrieved, so no value is recorded and no reference figure is registered. | Not recorded | Not recorded | |

The fifth paragraph shuts this off where the sponsor holds a time-limited permit under 2 b § or 6 § or 12 kap. 18 §, or refugee or subsidiary-protection status. 5 kap. 8 § forsta stycket 1 disapplies the self-support condition for a child. | No as of 2025-02-25[199] The applicant is the child. A parent moving with or to the child applies on their own ground – se-family-parent-of-child – and a child moving at the same time as a parent is included in that parent's application. | application: SEK 1,000 as of 2025-02-25[199] | citizen, permanent resident, temporary permit holder as of 2026-08-22[199][213] The parent, or the parent's spouse or cohabiting partner, must be settled in Sweden or hold a permit for settlement; 5 kap. 3 § tredje stycket extends the ground to sponsors holding a time-limited long-term-resident or protection permit with well-founded prospects of a lasting permit. | Recorded at the source, but not reducible to a single value[199][212][213] | Yes as of 2026-08-22[199][213] 5 kap. 3 b §, subject to the same exemptions. | Not recorded | |

Nothing on the page requires the principal to show a home of sufficient size and standard. | Not applicable[201] None.

Family of a holder of a permit for OTHER studies, including upper-secondary studies, cannot use this route at all and are told to apply for a visitor's permit instead. Family of a researcher use Utlanningslag 5 b kap. 19 § and are recorded on se-researcher's own family_inclusion block. | 0.08 × price base amount (a annual figure), assessed monthly as of 2025-12-03[200][210] | No as of 2026-08-22[200][212] Utlanningsforordning 4 a kap. 6 § imposes maintenance and a public-order condition and nothing about housing. | Not applicable[200] None on the sponsor's side. The timing condition runs the other way: the sponsor's permit must have MORE than three months left when the family member applies. |
| Sweden Live with a partner | Active as of 2026-08-22[204][213] | residence permit as of 2026-08-22[213] | up to 2 years as of 2026-08-22[204][213] 5 kap. 3 g § andra stycket: a permit on ties to someone settled in Sweden or holding a long-term-resident permit under 2 b § 'ska vara tidsbegransat och galla i tva ar'. Where the sponsor holds a time-limited protection permit, the first paragraph makes the family permit run for the same period as the sponsor's instead. Migrationsverket states the ceiling: 'a maximum of two years, but never for longer than your passport is valid.' | Yes as of 2026-08-22[204][213] 5 kap. 3 g § tredje stycket: a new time-limited permit also runs two years, never longer than the sponsor's, and may be granted on the same ground 'endast om forhallandet bestar' – only if the relationship continues. | full as of 2025-02-25[204] 'If you are granted a residence permit in Sweden, you will also have the right to work and study.' | Yes as of 2026-08-22[213] Utlanningslag 5 kap. 3 g § fjarde stycket (Lag 2026:1142): a permanent permit may be granted when the current permit expires if the holder has had a time-limited permit for at least three years and the conditions in 3 § or 3 a § and the special requirements in 5 kap. 7 § – self-support and no doubt as to expected vandel – are met. The fifth paragraph shuts this off where the sponsor holds a time-limited permit under 2 b § or 6 § or 12 kap. 18 §, or refugee or subsidiary-protection status. | Yes as of 2026-08-22[204][213] 5 kap. 3 a § andra stycket: where a permit is granted under the intending-to-marry limb, a permit for the same period is also given to the applicant's unmarried children. Migrationsverket: children under 18 are included in the principal's application; children over 18 apply separately under se-family-adult-relative. | application: SEK 2,000 as of 2025-02-25[204] | citizen, permanent resident, temporary permit holder as of 2026-08-22[204][213] Migrationsverket lists the sponsor's qualifying statuses closed: Swedish citizenship, Nordic citizenship, permanent residence permit, permanent residence card, permanent right of residence, permanent residence status, or a time-limited permit as a refugee or subsidiary-protection beneficiary or on exceptionally distressing circumstances. 'Nordic citizenship' and the four permanent EU-law statuses have no separate enum values and are folded into citizen and permanent_resident; temporary_permit_holder carries the protection cases, which 5 kap. 3 § tredje stycket admits only where the sponsor has 'valgrundade utsikter att beviljas varaktigt uppehallstillstand'. A sponsor holding an ordinary work or study permit is NOT on this list – their family uses se-family-accompanying-worker or se-family-accompanying-student instead. | Recorded at the source, but not reducible to a single value[204][206][212][213] | Yes as of 2026-08-22[204][213] 5 kap. 3 b §: 'har en bostad av tillracklig storlek och standard for sig och utlanningen'. Migrationsverket requires the tenancy agreement or ownership document with the number of rooms, and Utlanningsforordning 4 kap. 4 d § andra stycket empowers it to make rules on what counts as sufficient size and standard. Subject to the same five exemptions as the income half. | Not applicable[204][213] No qualifying period of residence is imposed on the sponsor. What Migrationsverket does test, for the 90-day fast track only, is the length of the RELATIONSHIP – at least two years' cohabitation abroad without common children, one year with – which is a processing condition rather than a waiting period and is recorded on processing_time_typical. | |

The fifth paragraph shuts this off where the sponsor holds a time-limited permit under 2 b § or 6 § or 12 kap. 18 §, or refugee or subsidiary-protection status. | Yes as of 2025-02-25[202] Children under 18 moving with the applicant are applied for in the applicant's own application. | application: SEK 2,000 as of 2025-02-25[202] | Not applicable[202][213] | Not applicable[213] 5 kap. 3 b § conditions a permit 'pa grund av anknytning till en person enligt 3 eller 3 a §' on that person's maintenance and housing.

| Sweden Parents of children under 18 years of age | Active as of 2026-08-22[203][213] | residence permit as of 2026-08-22[213] | up to 2 years as of 2026-08-22[203][213] 'You can be granted a residence permit for a maximum of two years, but never for longer than your passport is valid' – 5 kap. 3 g §. | Yes as of 2026-08-22[213] 5 kap. 3 g § tredje stycket. | full as of 2025-04-16[203] The page carries a 'Can I work or study with this permit?' section; permits on ties carry both rights. | Yes as of 2026-08-22[213] Utlanningslag 5 kap. 3 g § fjarde stycket (Lag 2026:1142): a permanent permit may be granted when the current permit expires if the holder has had a time-limited permit for at least three years and the conditions in 3 § or 3 a § and the special requirements in 5 kap. 7 § – self-support and no doubt as to expected vandel – are met. The fifth paragraph shuts this off where the sponsor holds a time-limited permit under 2 b § or 6 § or 12 kap. 18 §, or refugee or subsidiary-protection status. | Not established from a qualifying source[203] | application: SEK 2,000 as of 2025-04-16[203] | citizen, permanent resident, temporary permit holder as of 2026-08-22[203][213] The sponsor is the child. Migrationsverket's two sub-pages split by the child's own status: a parent of an unaccompanied minor with protection status, and a parent of a child with a permit to live in Sweden. The route requires either that parent and child lived together abroad immediately before the child moved, and that the application be made as soon as possible after the child was granted a permanent or protection permit, or that the parent is the child's guardian living with them, or that contact will be exercised. | Not applicable[213] Utlanningslag 5 kap. 3 c § forsta stycket: 'Kraven i 3 b § galler inte om anknytningspersonen ar ett barn.' The sponsor here is by definition a child, so the maintenance and housing test does not apply to this route at all. This is the one family route in the record where that is true, and it is worth a reader knowing. | No as of 2026-08-22[213] Same exemption – 5 kap. 3 c § forsta stycket disapplies the whole of 3 b §. | Not recorded |
