What this is
If you are the partner, spouse or dependant of an EU/EEA/Swiss citizen or a Spanish national, you may be eligible for a different residency route (EX-19 for EU family members, EX-24 for Spanish family members).
This route is often faster and simpler than the NLV or DNV, but it has strict relationship evidence requirements and the exact process varies significantly by circumstance.
We help you understand what to prepare, what to check, and when specialist immigration advice may be needed. This is route-awareness and document preparation support — not regulated immigration advice and not a guaranteed official outcome.
What you receive
Written deliverable: Family route preparation notes
- Route distinction: EX-19 vs EX-24, and which appears relevant to investigate
- Relationship evidence map (what documents prove the relationship, and common gaps)
- Process overview: where to apply, in what order, with what timelines
- Red flag screening (unmarried partners, weak relationship evidence, prior refusals)
- Lawyer referral prompts (this route is particularly lawyer-referral-heavy)
- One written Family Route Signposting Note delivered by email
- One bounded follow-up round within 7 days
What is not included
We are clear about this because it protects you and it protects us.
- Legal advice on family law or immigration law
- Handling of sensitive relationship evidence (we guide; you submit)
- Guaranteeing a residence card outcome
- Representation before extranjería or consulates
- In-person appointment accompaniment or live interpreting
- Advice on Spanish nationality law (a different topic entirely)
Who this is for
- Spouses and registered partners of EU/EEA/Swiss citizens
- Spouses and registered partners of Spanish nationals
- Long-term unmarried partners with sufficient evidence
- Dependent children and parents in qualifying relationships
Who this is not for
- People without a qualifying family relationship (other routes exist)
- People whose relationship evidence is weak or informal (we will flag this and recommend a lawyer)
- People who need full legal representation (we signpost; lawyers act)

Common questions
How is this different from the NLV?
The EU family route is based on your relationship to an EU/Spanish citizen, not on your income. The paperwork, process and timelines are different. We explain which route applies to you.
Do I need a lawyer?
Often yes, especially for unmarried partners or complex cases. Our signposting note tells you exactly when a lawyer is advisable and what questions to ask them.
How long does it take?
This varies by region and circumstance. We give you realistic current timelines based on official sources, with the caveat that processing times change.
What if my partner is a UK citizen too?
Then the EU family route may not apply. We assess whether the NLV, DNV or other routes are more appropriate in your situation.
