Which family relationships qualify?

The route covers a child who has become an adult, if the child meets the conditions of Article 43(1) items 1 to 8 and has held temporary residence for family reunification continuously for three years; and, exceptionally, a foreigner who is a victim of the criminal offence of domestic violence, regardless of how long the marriage or same-sex life partnership lasted.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The case of the family member after the sponsor's death or the end of a marriage/same-sex partnership is in Article 45(1), cited under R2 of this via.

Who may sponsor or bring the family member, and what immigration/citizenship status must that person hold?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm who may sponsor the family member and the status the sponsor must hold.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Not established: the correction failed a second independent check (NAO_SUSTENTA: C1 is still a mid-sentence fragment starting at 'odnosno stranac...': the predicate 'the family-reunification permit may be extended' is not in it, and 'No living sponsor is required' is the author's inference (in the marriage-ended case the sponsor may be alive).)

What is important for proving marriage, partnership, parentage, custody, dependency or another qualifying relationship?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the evidence needed to prove the family relationship.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Searched Art. 45-46 of the Law on Foreigners: the route's conditions (three-year duration, domestic-violence victim, adult child) are cited under R1/R2; no evidence or documentary proof requirement for the relationship is stated for this route.

What important financial, accommodation, insurance or maintenance responsibilities apply?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the financial, accommodation, insurance or maintenance requirements.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Not established: the correction failed a second independent check (NAO_RESPONDE: not_found is not honest: Art. 45(2) (already cited under R1) requires the adult child to meet Art. 43(1) items 1-8, and Art. 43(1) items 1-3 are means of support, secured accommodation and health insurance; both are in the source (Law on Foreigners Art. 43(1), 45(2)). Cite them and answer partially_proven for the adult-child case.)

How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?

This route is the continuation (renewal) of the temporary residence originally granted for family reunification, kept on the same family-reunification legal basis. The official source does not state a separate duration for the continued permit, the rights it gives, or a further route to permanent residence beyond the ordinary residence-based permanent-residence rules.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • No distinct validity period is stated for the continued (autonomous) permit itself, beyond the general same-basis renewal rule.
