What it is
Ricongiungimento familiare (family reunification) is the procedure that allows family members living abroad to join you in Italy.
It requires specific documents and the bureaucratic process takes some time.
How we help
The CAF follows every stage to reduce errors and delays.
We prepare the nulla osta (clearance) application to the Sportello Unico per l'Immigrazione (immigration one-stop office) and tell you which documents your family members will need to present at the consulate.
Who it's for
- Foreign nationals legally resident in Italy with a permit that allows family reunification
- People who want to be joined by their spouse, minor children, dependent adult children or dependent parents, where the law allows
Documents to bring

- 3Rental contract or title deed for your home
- 4Certificato di idoneità alloggiativa (housing suitability certificate) issued by the Comune

Indicative list: depending on your situation we may ask for other documents.
