Family Reunification

We offer complete services for family reunification in Romania. We handle the entire bureaucratic process, from the initial assessment and document preparation to obtaining residence permits for all family members.

The family reunification process in Romania involves complex and constantly changing procedures, specific documentation, and interaction with multiple institutions. For foreign nationals, or Romanian citizens married to foreign nationals, who want to bring their family to Romania, this process can become overwhelming, consuming precious time and creating constant stress regarding legal compliance.

Many individuals are forced to make numerous trips to institutions, submitting incomplete or incorrectly prepared applications, which leads to unnecessary prolongation of the process and prolonged separation from loved ones. A lack of detailed knowledge of the procedures and legislative subtleties can turn family reunification into a lengthy process with multiple obstacles.
