What family members can be brought to Italy under this visa?
Under the family reunification visa, you are allowed to bring the following family members to Italy:
- Spouse: Your legally married partner.
- Minor children: Children under the age of 18 who are financially dependent on you.
- Dependent children above the age of 18: Adult children who are unable to support themselves financially due to health conditions, disabilities, or other valid reasons.
- Parents: Your parents, provided they are financially dependent on you and do not have other family members who can support them in their home country.
This visa aims to help families stay together by allowing eligible family members to join the primary residence permit holder in Italy.
How long does it take to obtain the family visa in Italy?
The process can typically be completed within 1 to 3 months from the date the application is submitted.
What are the accommodation requirements in Italy?
When reuniting with family members, the sponsor in Italy must meet basic accommodation requirements. For instance, if the sponsor lives in a small apartment, they may not be able to accommodate multiple family members, even if the financial criteria are satisfied.
What documents are required for a Family Reunification Visa in Italy?
The family reunification visa applicant must submit a set of documents to the municipality where the family will reside. These include:
- The sponsor's residence permit.
- The clearance request (Nulla Osta), which is required for family members to join the sponsor in Italy.
How long is the Family Reunification Visa valid for?
The visa is usually valid for the same duration as the sponsor's residence permit in Italy. After arriving in Italy, family members can apply for a residence permit (Permesso di Soggiorno), typically valid for one to two years, renewable as long as visa conditions are met.
The "nulla osta" is an official document issued by the Italian authorities, such as the local Prefettura or the Ministry of the Interior. It certifies that there are no legal impediments to a specific action or process, such as family reunification or other administrative procedures.
What is the timeframe for the issuance of this residence permit?
The residence permit process generally takes 6 to 12 months for the immigration authorities to review the application, verify the documents, and issue the permit. Timeframes may vary based on the specific case, the quality of documentation, and processing speed. Our team can assist throughout the process by maintaining constant correspondence with the relevant authorities, such as the Questura and Prefettura, to ensure timely updates and resolutions.
What happens if my family reunification application is denied?
If your application is denied, you may appeal the decision or correct any errors and reapply. We can assist you in filing a judicial claim against the visa denial or support you in submitting a stronger reapplication that fulfills the requirements.
