Can my family benefit when I hold EU long-term resident status?

EU rules on long-term residence address the position of the resident's family members, and reforms in this area aim to strengthen those family rights. This means family members are part of the legal framework rather than an afterthought.

The precise conditions, such as which relatives qualify and what they must show, are governed by the applicable family reunification and long-term residence rules. Because details vary and are evolving, confirm the current family provisions for your situation before relying on them.
