Explore the five recorded questions, answers and sources for this pathway.
Who may sponsor or bring the family member, and what immigration/citizenship status must that person hold?
The sponsor must themselves be a foreigner already lawfully authorised to stay in Burundi; the automatic stay right for the spouse/dependants derives from, and depends on, the sponsor's own authorised stay.
