Family reunification in France

For many refugees in France, family reunification is an important step towards a new life. French law allows refugees and persons under subsidiary protection to invite their family members so that they can also live in France.

Steps to Family Reunification

1. Who is eligible for family reunification?

The right to reunification is granted to refugees and persons under subsidiary protection. This applies to the spouse and minor children. To apply, you must have already received refugee status or subsidiary protection.

2. Submitting a request for family reunification

Once you have received your status, you must contact the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons (OFPRA) or the prefecture to submit a request for reunification. To do this, you must provide documents confirming your family status and proof that you want to invite your relatives to France.

3. Documents for family reunification

To apply for family reunification you will need:

- Confirmation of refugee status or status of a person under subsidiary protection.

- Documents confirming your relationship with family members (marriage certificates, birth certificates, etc.).

- Documents confirming current place of residence in France.

4. Waiting for a decision

The process of reviewing your family reunification application can take several months. It is important to stay in touch with OFPRA and check the status of your case regularly.

5. The family's arrival in France

Once your request is approved, your family will be able to obtain visas and enter France. Upon arrival, family members can apply for a temporary residence permit and begin the integration process.

Why is it important to seek help from specialists?

The process of family reunification can be complicated and lengthy. Errors in documents or insufficient information can lead to delays or refusals. To avoid such situations, it is important to seek professional support.
