Family Visa
Family visas (also known as family sponsorship visas) help reunite loved ones across borders. Citizens
or permanent residents can sponsor eligible relatives to join them abroad, often with a pathway to
permanent residency. For example, Canada’s Family Sponsorship Program enables citizens to sponsor
their spouse, partner, dependent children, or parents. Similarly, countries like the U.S., U.K., Australia,
and New Zealand offer multiple family reunion visa streams. Our expert family visa services guide you
through the entire journey—from verifying relationships to preparing applications and liaising with
immigration authorities.
1. Eligible Relatives
Each country has specific rules regarding who qualifies as a family member:
- Spouses or civil partners
- Fiancé(e)s or prospective marriage partners
- Dependent children (biological or adopted)
- Parents or grandparents (in some cases)
- Other relatives under humanitarian or special circumstances
We carefully evaluate your family circumstances and advise on the correct visa category—whether a
spouse visa, partner visa, parent visa, or dependent child visa. Same-sex partnerships are recognized
in most developed countries, and we ensure your case meets all required legal definitions.
2. Proof of Relationship
Relationship authenticity is a core requirement for all family visa applications. Immigration officers will
request:
- Marriage or civil partnership certificates (for spouses/partners)
- Birth or adoption certificates (for children or parents)
- Photos, communication records, joint bank accounts, shared leases, and other evidence
(especially for de facto relationships)
Our consultants help you compile a compelling and well-organized relationship evidence package that
complies with country-specific expectations and reduces the risk of delays or denials.
3. Sponsor Requirements
Sponsors must meet minimum criteria, which typically include:
- Age (usually 18+)
- Legal status (citizen or permanent resident)
- Minimum income threshold or financial undertaking
- Clean legal and immigration record
For example:
- The U.K. requires sponsors to meet a financial requirement for spouse and child visas.
- The U.S. requires sponsors to sign Form I-864 (Affidavit of Support).
- Australia requires assurance of support for parent visas.
We assist sponsors in understanding their obligations, gathering income evidence, and submitting
necessary affidavits and declarations.
4. Processing, Medicals & Interviews
Family visa processing can range from a few months to over a year, depending on the visa stream and
country. Applicants may be required to:
- Complete medical examinations
- Attend biometrics appointments
- Participate in consular interviews (especially for spouses and fiancés)
We manage timelines, schedule appointments, prepare you for interviews, and communicate with
immigration departments to ensure your case progresses smoothly.
5. Eligibility Requirements – Family Visa

- Must be a citizen or permanent resident of the destination country.
