Family reunification in the UK allows refugees and those with humanitarian protection to bring close family members, such as spouses and children, to join them. However, the process is complex and restrictive.
To reunite with their families, refugees must apply for a Refugee Family Reunion visa, which is free of charge but limited to spouses and children under 18. Other relatives, like siblings or parents, typically do not qualify unless there are exceptional circumstances
The UK’s family reunification policy is seen as restrictive compared to other countries, and the process can be lengthy, with significant delays that prolong family separation. Post-Brexit, the UK no longer participates in the Dublin Regulation, which allowed reunification with family members in EU countries.
Charities and advocacy groups provide support to refugees navigating the process, but there is growing demand for policy changes to allow more families to reunite.
Goodwill Caravan is dedicated to supporting refugees and displaced families in the UK, with a special focus on family reunification. We understand the immense emotional and practical challenges that come with family separation, and we work tirelessly to help reunite families who have been torn apart due to conflict, persecution, or displacement.
At Goodwill Caravan, we believe that no one should have to live without their family. We are committed to supporting refugees in the UK and helping them rebuild their lives by reuniting with their loved ones.
Goodwill Caravan’s work in the UK is aimed at providing essential assistance to refugees, who face a myriad of challenges as they try to navigate life in a new country.
