Family card of an EU citizen
What is the Family Card of an EU Citizen?
The Family Card of an EU Citizen is a residency permit that allows family members of Spanish or EU citizens to live and work in Spain. This card is essential for relatives who do not hold nationality from a European Union country, the European Economic Area (EEA), or Switzerland.
To guarantee full health care benefits in Spain during their stay, family members must secure appropriate health insurance through authorized providers. This ensures both legal compliance and peace of mind for the entire family unit.
Eligibility for the Family Card of an EU Citizen
To qualify for the Family Card, you must be a family member of an EU or Spanish citizen. This includes spouses, children under 21 years old, dependent parents, and others who meet the specific family definitions set by Spanish immigration law. Additionally, the family member must not be an EU, EEA, or Swiss citizen. If you’re accompanying or joining the EU citizen in Spain, the family card is necessary to establish your residency.
Documents Required for Application
When applying for the Family Card of an EU Citizen, you will need to provide the following documentation:
Proof of Relationship: Marriage certificates, birth certificates, or other official documentation proving your relationship to the EU or Spanish citizen.
Proof of Residency: The EU citizen must provide proof of their legal residence in Spain, such as a passport or ID card.
Proof of Financial Stability: Evidence that you and your family members have sufficient financial resources to live in Spain.
Health Insurance: A valid health insurance policy for you and your family members, proving that you are covered while residing in Spain.
