Allows non-EU family members of a qualifying sponsor (a resident third-country national, EU Blue Card or ICT holder, refugee, or a Romanian citizen) to join them in Romania. IGI first issues an endorsement, after which the family member applies for the D/VF visa.
Spouses, minor children and, in certain cases, dependent adult children or dependent ascendants of a qualifying sponsor.
Our licensed advisors assess your eligibility, build a strategy to strengthen your application, and manage the process end to end, so you submit a complete, competitive application with confidence.
You must show stable income above your own needs, in the amount of the net minimum wage for each additional family member, plus suitable accommodation and health insurance.
You can typically bring your spouse and unmarried minor children, and in defined cases dependent parents and adult children who cannot support themselves for medical reasons.
Bigamous or polygamous marriages are not accepted, and family members who pose a security risk, are subject to an entry ban, or lack valid travel documents can be refused.
Family reunification lets non-EU family of a qualifying sponsor join them in Romania. IGI first issues an endorsement (aviz), after which the family member applies for the D/VF visa and then a residence permit.
A non-EU national holding a qualifying status, such as a temporary residence permit valid at least a year, an EU Blue Card, an ICT permit, long-term residence, or refugee/subsidiary protection, can sponsor relatives.
The immigration authority generally decides within 3 months; after approval, the family member must obtain a long-stay visa from a Romanian mission within 60 days.
Reunited family members receive a residence permit tied to the sponsor's status, and their permission to work or study follows Romanian rules for family members.
