Are there conditions like housing and income for family reunification?

Illustration for this immigration answer

Yes. You generally need suitable accommodation for the family and, for non-EU/EFTA sponsors, sufficient financial means so the family does not rely on social assistance.

Family reunification is not automatic; the sponsor must show the family can live together in acceptable conditions. A central requirement is adequate housing of a size appropriate for the number of people who will live in it.

For non-EU/EFTA sponsors there are additional conditions, in particular sufficient and stable financial means so the family will not depend on social assistance, plus integration-related requirements. EU/EFTA sponsors face lighter conditions under the free-movement agreement, focused mainly on adequate accommodation.
