FOR FAMILIES
Give your children a European future.
One process for your entire family — spouse, children, schools, healthcare. Handled by people who think about your family's life, not just your paperwork.
One process. Your whole family.
When you relocate to Spain, your spouse and children can apply for residency as your dependents — but each of them still needs their own correctly prepared, individually filed application. Missing a single document for one family member can delay everyone.
We manage every family member's file under one coordinated process, with one point of contact for you: us. You're not juggling three separate timelines or three sets of confusing instructions.
Spouse residency
Your spouse or registered partner is included as a dependent on your residency application. We prepare their documentation alongside yours — marriage certificate Apostille and sworn translation, background checks, and the dependent application itself — so both files move in step.
Children's residency
Each child requires their own dependent application, including birth certificate Apostille and translation, and — depending on age — additional documentation. We handle this whether you have one child or four, and we keep the family discount conversation simple: ask us on your call, and we'll explain what applies to your family size.
International schools
Spain has a strong network of international and bilingual schools across Madrid, Barcelona, Marbella, Valencia, and other major cities — British curriculum, American curriculum, French Lycée system, and IB programs among them. We don't enrol your children for you, but we provide research guidance: which schools fit your child's age, language background, and curriculum preference, and what the admissions timeline typically looks like in your target city.
Healthcare for your family
Spain has one of the most highly rated public healthcare systems in Europe, and as a resident your family will eventually have access to it. During the transition, private family health insurance is required for your residency application — we guide you on what qualifies and connect you with providers who work with relocating families regularly.
FAQ
Can my spouse work in Spain on a dependent residency?
In most cases, yes — dependent residency holders can generally access the Spanish labor market, though the exact rights depend on your specific visa pathway. We'll confirm this for your situation on your call.
What age do international schools in Spain typically accept from?
Most international schools accept from early years (age 3) through to secondary school, though availability and waitlists vary significantly by school and city — earlier enquiry is always better.
Is there really a discount for additional family members?
Yes, family rates are available when filing multiple dependents alongside your own application. We'll go through exact details on your free call rather than publishing a generic number that may not apply to your family size.
How long does the whole family's process take compared to a single applicant?
Filing as a family doesn't meaningfully extend the 90-day general timeline, since all files are prepared and submitted together — but having every document correct from day one matters even more with multiple files moving at once.
