Overview

Long-stay visa for spouses and children joining a family member legally residing in Guinea, requiring proof of marital or parental relationship.

The Family Reunification Visa (Visa Long Séjour - VLS Famille) is a long-stay category created to allow spouses and children of foreign nationals who are already legally residing in Guinea to join their family members. This visa recognizes the importance of maintaining family unity and provides a legal pathway for family members to reside together in the country. It is specifically designed for those who have a primary family member already established in Guinea through a valid long-term residence permit or work authorization, ensuring that families can live together during their stay.

Applicants for the VLS Famille must present a valid passport with at least six months of remaining validity and a recent passport-sized photograph. The application process requires proof of the familial relationship, such as marriage or birth certificates, and documentation confirming the sponsor's legal status and ability to support the family members in Guinea. Fees for this visa vary based on the applicant's nationality. By meeting these requirements, the visa enables family members to reside legally in Guinea, fostering stability and support for expatriate families living and working in the country.
