Please if anyone can help. I don´t know where to address this question so I hope I can get a good answer. I am an American citizen that just married a Spaniard in Spain a couple weeks ago. I need to find out how to get what I need to become legal here, and to legally work here in this country. And calling the American Embassy, they don´t know anything. And I am just getting a paper trail miles long on the things that I need. I know it will be really difficult but I LOVE my wife and I want to have the same opportunities as any married Spanish man living in this country. Please if anybody knows any information on how to help me it would be GREATLY appreciated. Sorry if I posted this is the wrong place. Also, if i DID post this in the wrong place please forgive me and let me know where it should be posted. Thanks.

Hi all,

I just moved to Barcelona a few weeks ago to settle with my Spanish husband and from all the info I gathered, EU citizens do not need a family reunification visa for Spain. If you would not ordinarily need a visa for Spain, then you don´t need a reunification visa, since you can enter the country anyway.

The reunification visa is for visa nationals who need to declare their reason for entry.

Once in Spain, you may need to apply for residency, I would advise anyone thinking of doing that to use the services of a ´gestor´. Spain can be a very frustrating country in terms of getting things done, correct information is hard to come by as it seems either no one knows anything or are willing to divulge info.

A date will be given for an appointment at the ´Officina de Extrangeros´ nearest to you (the queues are long, so getting an agent/gestor to do it may help, fees range between 180 and 300 Euros).
If you are non EU, you will be asked to supply more documents, so get ready:
a) If you have been married for more than 6 months to a Spaniard, the Spanish person will have have to go to the ´Registro Civil´in his/her area to get a document (Certificado de Matrimonio) stating that the marriage is still on and there has been no separation. If married to non-Spanish, a recent marriage certificate will do (yes, you´ll have to get a new one currently dated);
b) You will need to have a ´Certificado Medicó oficial español´ this is a health certificate showing you do not have any infectious/contagious diseases, are not a drug addict and are not a health risk, if given residency - better to do this in Spain;
c) A police report from country of origin or country of residence for the past 5 years before entry into Spain;
d) ´Volante de Empadronamiento´ - this is just a document saying you are on the electoral roll of the city/town you wish to reside in - you´ll have to do this when you get to Spain.

All other documents are the normal ones - passport photo, form EX-16 (If married to EU citizen), National passport, documentation of person responsible for reunification (DNI or NIE, passport, Residence card etc)

If these documents are issued in the EU or countries party to the ´Number 12 Convention of the Hague of 1961´, then all you need to do is get them translated by an ´Interprete Jurado´- official translator. You can optain a list from the nearest Spanish consulate/embassy.

If the documents have not been issued by any of these countries, for example a police report, then you have to get it stamped and signed by the person writing the report or the departmental head, then you have to get it stamped by your country´s ministry of external affairs. After that you have to take it to the nearest Spanish consulate or embassy, where it has to be stamped 3 times.

When you get to Spain, that document will be sent to Madrid for verification before it can be declared valid.

* It is important to note that documents older than 3 months are deemed invalid, so you have to do all this and still meet the 3 month deadline.
* It takes about 2-3 months to get an interview date, so you may want to come to Spain first before stating the process.

For the interview, it is advised you go with your spouse.

This is all I know so far, as soon as I have more info, I´ll post it.

Regards
