Family reunification
Bring your spouse, children or parents to Italy. From the Prefettura application to the first residence permit, we guide you step by step.
Family reunification lets your family members join you in Italy: spouse, minor children and, under certain conditions, parents. You need a minimum income and suitable housing.
We calculate the current income threshold for your family, prepare the nulla osta application, manage Prefettura appointments in Milan and Monza and prepare the visa documents for the Italian Embassy in Colombo.

Frequently asked questions
Can I bring my parents?
Yes, if they have no other children who can support them in the home country, or if they are over 65 and the other children cannot support them. We assess your case in a consultation.
How long does it take?
It depends on the Prefettura and the Embassy: usually a few months. A complete file from the start avoids the most common delays.
