EU law can open the way to family reunification - without the strict national requirements  
For many families, the national rules on family reunification can feel overwhelming. In Denmark,Sweden, Norway, and many other European countries, citizens who wish to livewith a non-EU spouse or bring their partner’s children into the country often face strict demands on income, housing, and integration. These requirements can be hard to meet – or simply too costly and time-consuming.
‍
EU law offers another way. As an EU/EEA citizen, you have the right to move together with your spouse, partner, or family member to another EU/EEA country. After living therefor a period of time – at least four months, and ideally six months or longer –you can return to your home country under EU law. This process usually involves fewer requirements, less bureaucracy, and provides your family member with amore secure and predictable residence status.
Importantly, these rights are not limited to married couples. They can also include registered partners (where recognized) or long-term partners in a stable and documented relationship, children and stepchildren under 21, parents and parents-in-law who depend on you, and in some cases other relatives or household members – fore xample where serious health circumstances mean it is strictly necessary for you to provide personal care.

I have in-depth experience with EU family reunification processes in Denmark, Sweden, andGermany, and I regularly help clients who are planning a return to their homecountry after living elsewhere in the EU. I can also support families in otherEuropean countries, where the framework is the same even if the practical steps may differ.

Please note: In certain situations, applying directly under national rules may still be the better option – for example where children are involved, or in cases of illness, disability, or refugee status, where it may be possible to obtain dispensations from some of the requirements.
