Dependent/Family Reunification Visa (Visado de Reagrupación Familiar)

The Dependent/Family Reunification Visa (Visado de Reagrupación Familiar) is a long-term immigration instrument designed to facilitate the unity of families when one member is legally authorized to work or reside in Equatorial Guinea. Established under the country's broader immigration and labor policies, this visa fills the critical gap of allowing spouses and minor children to accompany a primary visa holder, such as a foreign worker, for the duration of their stay. It ensures that families can remain together while the principal applicant fulfills their professional or residency obligations.

This visa is specifically for the immediate family members—typically spouses and minor children—of foreign workers or legal residents who hold a valid residence permit. The applicant must provide concrete evidence of their legal relationship, such as a marriage certificate or birth certificate, and proof of the principal applicant's legal status in the country. What makes this visa distinctive is its direct link to the primary applicant's residence permit, making it a derivative status that grants the dependent the right to live in Equatorial Guinea for the duration of the sponsor's authorized stay.
