Family Reunion Visa (Regroupement Familial)

Reuniting families and dependents with their loved ones living in France.

Reconnect Your Family in France

The Family Reunion Visa is for the spouse and minor children of a non-EU national who has been legally residing in France for at least 18 months. It allows your family to join you and share your status as a legal resident of France.

Who is Eligible?

  • Spouse: Husband or wife of the primary resident (must be 18+).
  • Minor Children: Biological or adopted children under 18 years old.

Key Requirements

  • The primary resident must have a valid residence permit and have lived in France for at least 18 months.
  • Sufficient and stable financial resources for the entire household.
  • Adequate housing in France meeting surface area and comfort standards.
  • Absence of any threat to public order or safety.

Note: Separate rules apply if you hold a **Talent Passport** (family can often join immediately without the 18-month wait).
