NEWCOMER PLANNING WORKSPACE General information only
How to use this tool
  1. First choose which family member you are bringing to Spain so that the relevant checklist is shown.
  2. Answer each document item using the available status choices. Use an uncertain status where you cannot confirm an item; no upload is required.
  3. Select Check my document readiness. Review missing or uncertain items for that family-member type. Recalculate separately when checking a different family member.

FAMILY REUNIFICATION CHECKLIST

Check how ready your family reunification documents are

Choose the family member you are bringing to Spain and tell us which documents you already have. We’ll show what’s ready, what’s missing and what to do next — step by step.

Check one family member at a time

If more than one family member is applying, run the checklist separately for each person. If a conditional item truly does not apply, choose “Doesn’t apply to this case”.
