What personal, family, and minor child documents are needed for a Family Reunification Visa in Italy?
Personal documentation requires a residence permit (permesso di soggiorno), tax code (codice fiscale), identity card, and passport. Family member documentation requires a copy of the family member's passport, a certificate of residence, and a family status certificate (stato di famiglia). For minor children, Form S1 is strictly required. For family reunification and prefettura clearances, utilize our Sportello Unico Immigrazione (SUI) services or book a family reunification consultation. Official Portals: Ministry of Interior SUI Services Portal and D.P.R. 394/1999 (Immigration Regulation Art. 29).
