Legal and financial assistance for family reunification

Foundation for Access to Rights - FAR will provide assistance to 10 refugees, who wish to start or are already undergoing the family reunification procedure in Bulgaria. The assistance will consist of free legal advice on the family reunification procedure, covering the costs of language translation of documents, covering other costs (e.g. travel costs, visa, etc.) and assistance with initial integration through contacting national authorities and NGOs that provide integration services.

The right to private and family life is a fundamental human right. If you are a person who is granted refugee or humanitarian status or temporary protection in Bulgaria, you have the right to request to be reunited with your family. This includes your spouse or long-term partner, your minor child, and other members of your family, depending on your status. More information about the procedure can be found here.

If you would like to participate in the assistance program, contact us by email at [email protected] or through our online assistance request form.

The assistance that Foundation for Access to Rights - FAR will provide is part of the activities on the project "Complementary Pathways to Southeastern Europe - COMP4SEE", aimed at increasing opportunities for legal admission and effective integration of asylum seekers.
