Regrouping is a right that law allows for foreigners who live in Spain. It can be applied for if the foreigner has been living in Spain for a year and such foreigner has an authorization to stay for at least another year.

Regrouping is admitted for spouses, children, adopted children, as well as for the regrouper´s ancestors or his/her spouse's ancestors, if the latter are under his/her charge. Regrouping is also admitted for under-aged or handicapped children if the foreigner is their legal representative.

For regrouping to take place, the regrouper must prove that he/she has adequate housing and sufficient income to support a family.
