Can my spouse and children join me on the highly qualified professional permit?

One advantage of permits under Law 14/2013 is simultaneous family processing: your spouse or registered partner, dependent children and dependent ascendants can apply at the same time as you rather than waiting for a separate reunification process.

Accompanying family members usually receive authorisation to reside and to work in Spain. This makes the HQP route attractive for professionals relocating with a household, though documentation proving the family relationships and dependency is still required.
