When can I bring my family?

Do you have asylum in Austria?

You can now bring your family. Your family now has to go to an Austrian embassy. Your family needs to go there soon. From the day you received asylum status, your family can wait a maximum of 3 months. At the embassy, your family needs to submit the application for family reunification.

The application is easy only during these 3 months; afterwards it becomes more difficult.

Your family cannot get to the embassy within 3 months? Your family can send the application for family reunification by mail or email to the embassy. The Red Cross will help.

Do you have subsidiary protection in Austria?

You need to wait 2 years. You can then bring your family to Austria.

Is your asylum procedure not yet finished?

You still do not have a decision. You cannot bring your family to Austria now. You cannot submit an application for family reunification now.
