Refusal of family reunification
A refusal of family reunification directly affects family unity and the possibility of bringing a family member to Italy. The measure should be reviewed according to the reasons indicated and the documents already submitted.
The refusal may concern income, housing, housing suitability, residence permit, foreign documents or proof of family relationship.
Rejection notice for nulla osta
Before a final refusal, the authority may send a rejection notice concerning the nulla osta for family reunification. This phase requires a precise answer supported by documents.
Ignoring the notice or replying incompletely can increase the risk of final refusal.
Income, housing and foreign documents
Common issues concern insufficient income, missing housing suitability documents, incomplete housing documents, foreign certificates not accepted, translations or legalizations missing and family relationship not proven.

The first step is to understand whether the refusal concerns income, housing, family relationship, foreign documents, missing integration or another specific issue.
