D6
Family Reunification Visa
Family Reunification Visa
Under the D6/DF visa, family reunification allows family members of individuals who have immigrated to Portugal through various visa programs to join them. Family members of a primary applicant, regardless of the immigration program they follow, are entitled to apply for a visa and residence permit in Portugal. This provides them with the same access to permanent residency and, eventually, citizenship as the main applicant. The process ensures that families can stay together while enjoying the same rights and benefits, including long-term residency and naturalization opportunities.
Overview
The Portuguese Family Visa, also known as the Portugal Family Reunification Visa or D6/DF Visa, allows non-EU nationals to join family members who are legal residents of Portugal. This visa serves as a critical step in reuniting loved ones, providing a pathway to residency, and granting access to employment, education, healthcare, and social services in Portugal.

Elegibility
To be eligible for the D6/DF Visa, applicants must be family members of Portuguese citizens or legal residents. Eligible family members include spouses or legally recognized partners, children, adoptees, minors under guardianship, and financially dependent parents. Documentation requirements include the legalization and translation of foreign documents into Portuguese.
