1. What is a Family Reunification Visa?

The Family Reunification Visa allows non-EU/EEA family members to legally join their relative who resides in the Netherlands. This visa applies to spouses, partners, children, and sometimes parents, depending on the circumstances.

2. Who Can Apply for a Family Reunification Visa?

Eligibility depends on the sponsor’s status. The following family members can apply:

  • Spouses and registered partners of Dutch or EU/EEA citizens

  • Unmarried partners in a durable relationship

  • Minor children of a resident parent

  • In some cases, dependent parents of Dutch citizens or residents

3. What Are the Main Requirements?

To qualify for the visa, you must meet the following criteria:

  • The sponsor (resident in the Netherlands) must have a valid residence permit or Dutch nationality.

  • There must be sufficient income to support the family member.

  • Proof of relationship, such as marriage certificates or evidence of a long-term relationship.

  • The applicant must pass the civic integration exam (if required).

4. How Long Does the Application Process Take?

The Immigration and Naturalization Service (IND) typically processes applications within 90 days, though processing times may vary depending on individual circumstances.

5. Is There a Minimum Income Requirement?

Yes, the sponsor must demonstrate stable and sufficient income, which is usually at least the Dutch minimum wage. Exceptions may apply in certain cases, such as when reuniting with minor children.

6. Can I Work in the Netherlands with a Family Reunification Visa?

Yes! Once granted, the visa often allows the holder to work without a separate work permit, depending on their family sponsor’s residence status.

7. What Happens If My Relationship Ends?

If the relationship or marriage ends, your visa status may be affected. However, in certain cases—such as domestic violence or long-term residency—you may be able to apply for an independent residence permit.

8. How Long Is the Family Reunification Visa Valid?

The visa is typically valid for one to five years, depending on the sponsor’s residence permit. Renewals are possible if eligibility requirements continue to be met.

9. Can I Apply for Permanent Residency or Citizenship Later?

Yes. After five years of legal residence, you may apply for a permanent residence permit or even Dutch citizenship, provided you meet additional integration and language requirements.

10. What If My Application Is Denied?

If your application is rejected, the IND will provide reasons for the denial. You have the right to appeal the decision or submit a new application with corrected or additional documentation.

Navigating the Family Reunification Visa process can be challenging, but proper preparation can ensure a smooth application. If you need assistance, Immigration Netherlands Services (INLS) can help you understand the requirements and increase your chances of approval.
