Residence for family members of EU citizens
The residence card for family members of EU citizens allows certain non-EU relatives to live in Spain when accompanying or joining an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen.
Overview
The official route is the residence card for family members of EU citizens. It is used when the non-EU relative accompanies or joins in Spain an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen who will stay for more than three months.
The official information sheet requires proof of the family relationship and that the EU citizen fits one of the accepted situations: employee, self-employed worker, person with sufficient resources and health insurance, or student with means and coverage.
