I want to bring a family member to the Netherlands

Many people who have a residence permit in the Netherlands would like to bring their family members over. We call this ‘family reunification’. You can apply for family reunification if – for example – you work in the Netherlands or if you have fled to the Netherlands and have been granted an asylum permit here.

Not all your family members qualify for family reunification. It depends on your residence permit and your relationship to the family member. Hence spouses, partners and minor children can come to the Netherlands more easily than adult children and parents.

If you would like to find out whether your family member can come to the Netherlands, e-mail or call our attorneys for a telephone consultation without obligation.
