Immigrating as a family multiplies documents, budgets and decisions. It is also a project where consistency between household members becomes a success factor.

Documents to anticipate

  • Up-to-date birth and marriage certificates
  • Valid passports for every member
  • Children's school records
  • Relationship evidence and shared history
  • Financial and banking documents

Planning the real budget

Beyond application fees, a family project must include housing for the first months, insurance, transport, winter equipment and a safety reserve.

Children's schooling and adaptation

Children's adaptation depends heavily on language, the school calendar and psychological preparation for change. This deserves as much attention as the administrative file.

The information presented here is for guidance only and may change. Requirements vary according to your profile and the applicable criteria, and the final decision rests with the competent authorities.
