Family Visa

Family reunification laws try to balance the right of a family to live together with the country s right to control immigration. However, what the balance looks like and which members of the family can be reunited differ largely by country.

A subcategory of family reunification is marriage migration in which one spouse immigrates to the country of the other spouse. Marriage migration can take place before marriage and then falls under its own special category, or it can take place after marriage and then falls under family reunification laws. Some countries allow family reunification for unmarried partners if they can prove an ongoing intimate relationship that also lasted longer than a certain period of time.

In recent years, there have been several cases of minors sent out on hazardous journeys to apply for political asylum status that would enable the rest of the family to join them. However, in some countries, one must be at least 18 to apply for family reunification and then only with child dependants under 16 or partners, not with parents or siblings.
