Family Reunification Permit (Regroupement Familial)

The Family Reunification Permit (Regroupement Familial) is a specialized immigration pathway that allows the spouses and minor children of foreign workers holding valid Mauritanian residence or work permits to join them in the country. This permit is designed to uphold the principle of family unity, enabling immediate family members to reside legally in Mauritania alongside the primary permit holder. It provides a stable legal status for dependents, ensuring they can accompany the sponsor for the duration of their legal stay in the nation.

To apply for this permit, the sponsor must demonstrate their own legal status in Mauritania and prove they have the financial capacity and suitable accommodation to support their family members. The application process requires the submission of legalized documentation, including marriage certificates for spouses and birth certificates for minor children, to verify the family relationship. Fees for the permit vary depending on the specific circumstances and the number of dependents, and the process ensures that all family members are properly registered and authorized to reside within the country.
