Unless their presence constitutes a threat to public order, foreign nationals who have been recognised as refugees or who have been granted subsidiary protection may apply to benefit from their right to be joined, by way of family reunification:
1° By his or her spouse or the partner with whom he or she is bound by a civil union, aged at least eighteen, if the marriage or civil union took place prior to the date of submission of his or her asylum application;
2° By his or her cohabiting partner, aged at least eighteen, with whom he or she had, prior to the date of submission of his or her asylum application, a sufficiently stable and continuous cohabitation;
3° By the couple’s unmarried children, who have not passed their nineteenth birthday.
If the refugee or beneficiary of subsidiary protection is an unmarried minor, they may apply to benefit from their right to be joined by their direct ascendants in the first degree, accompanied, where applicable, by their unmarried minor children for whom they are effectively responsible.
The age of the children is assessed on the date on which the application for family reunification was submitted.
