A Family Visa lets the relatives of residents or citizens of a foreign country visit and/or live there for a specific duration. This visa is mostly applicable to marriages; it includes dependent children and occasionally other relatives as well. The resident or citizen must sponsor the family member.
The application process involves showing the financial capability to support the family member and sometimes providing proof of accommodation. The visa’s duration usually aligns with the sponsor’s residency status. It may be temporary or permanent. For long-term visas, you may need to apply for renewal from time to time. Potential complications include proving financial stability and documenting relationships accurately. Be super cautious to avoid issues.
Maintaining accurate records and adhering to visa conditions is important for visa renewal and avoiding complications. Following all requirements ensures compliance and helps facilitate a smooth family reunification process.
