Directorate of Immigration: Residence permits - Types

Can my cousin get a residence permit on the basis of family reunification?

Residence permits on the basis of family reunification are for:

  • marital and cohabiting spouses,

  • children under 18,

  • parents aged 67 and older, as well as

  • parents of children under 18.

According ot the Foreign Nationals Act, cousins cannot base their residence permits on family reunification.

You can check whether your cousin qualifies for a residence permit on other grounds, such as work or studies.
