Planning a family move to Portugal? Look no further
Starting your application for Family Reunification
If you’re considering relocating to Portugal with your family, the D6 visa – otherwise known as the Family Reunification visa – is the ideal option. Specifically tailored for families, this visa enables non-EU citizens to join their relatives already residing in Portugal, or who are in the process of their application.
Here is what you need to know to get started with your D6 visa application.
Eligibility for a D6 Visa
To be eligible for the D6 visa, you must meet certain criteria set by Portuguese immigration authorities. These include:
- Being a non-EU citizen
- Having a family member who is either a Portuguese citizen or has been legally residing in Portugal for at least one year
- Proving that your relationship with your family member is genuine and not merely for the purpose of obtaining a visa
- Having sufficient means to support yourself and any dependents during your stay in Portugal
Application process for a D6 Visa
Gather all necessary documents
This includes your passport, proof of relationship with your family member, proof of financial means, and any other documents required by Portuguese immigration authorities.
Make an appointment at the nearest consulate
We have the means to schedule you a personal appearance for processing your application and biometric data.
Wait for processing
The processing time for a D6 visa is typically 60 days, but it can vary depending on your individual case – and the current situation of the Portuguese authorities.
Collect your visa
Once your visa has been approved, you will need to collect it from the consulate or embassy where you submitted your application – one of our advisors will meet you there to ensure a smooth transition.
