Your Right to family Reunification If you are an adult and • your husband/wife and/or • your minor children If you are an unaccompanied minor (under 18 years old) and • your mother and/or • your father and/or • your siblings and/or • your aunt or uncle are residing in another EU country, Switzerland or Norway, under certain protection status (asylum seeker, recognized refugee, etc.) you have the right to ask for your reunification with them in their country of residence. The Asylum Service carries out the family reunification process. When you lodge your asylum application before the Asylum Service, notify them that you wish to be reunited with members of your family and give details regarding their country of residence and their status. It is always useful to have copies of the legal documents of your family members within the EU country they reside, as well as documents proving your relationship to them (eg birth certificate, marriage certificate, etc.). If you are an unaccompanied minor, i.e. you are under 18 years of age, and your parents are not in Greece, you will be transferred from detention to an open accommodation site as soon as possible. The time until your transfer dependeds on the capacity of these accommodation facilities for unaccompanied minors. Delays are very common. If you are an unaccompanied minor and you have been mistakenly registered by the Police as an adult, please inform every responsible person in the detention facility (e.g. doctor, social worker, Asylum Service and the Police.) regarding your actual age and if possible, show any documentation proving your actual age (e.g. birth certificate, family book or other).
