We are going to analyse what happens with our children of legal age when we are going to apply for a residence visa for Spain for them, we can apply for it for our minor children together with the spouse, but what happens when our children are of legal age?

In principle, children of legal age who live with the family unit, i.e. being unmarried and living with the father and mother, have the right to come with the family.

Despite this, there are consulates that are reluctant to allow an adult child to come with the family, but as a general rule, in the majority of cases it is already accepted that they can come with the family.

We must take into account an important point, we must present a certificate of bachelorhood for each adult child, we must also prove that they are living in the family unit and also present a certificate of studies, in case they are studying.

There is no age limit for the adult children we wish to bring, but in the event that a consulate is reluctant and puts obstacles in our way, we have the law on our side with the regulations and several court rulings that support this.

Therefore, children of legal age must be admitted without any doubt, except in cases where the child of legal age has created his or her own family unit or is no longer single, remembering that to be admitted he or she must be single and financially dependent on the parents with whom he or she lives in the family unit.
