TIE HoyFamily reunification renewal — when and how do I apply?
Use the ordinary family-residence renewal rules. Check both permissions, the continuing relationship and the actual renewal evidence.
When can I submit the renewal?
During the two months before expiry or the three months after (Article 71.1).
Late filing can attract a sanction.
This is ordinary family renewal, not Spanish-family authorization or a student-family extension.
Do I repeat the initial income and housing test?
No. Article 71.3–4 sets the renewal requirements: both permissions, continuing relationship, schooling where required and the procedure fee.
Do not replace that list with the initial Article 67 income or housing-report test.
Sponsor or family changes
Article 71.2 permits specific substitute sponsors for descendants, minors under guardianship or parents.
Check the resident spouse/partner, other parent or guardian conditions; do not assume any new relative can replace the sponsor.
Schooling evidence
For a child of compulsory school age, provide the competent regional schooling report.
If the office requests missing proof, Article 71.4(c) gives one month after that request to prove schooling; this is not the general ten-day supplement rule.
Decision and renewed permission
Article 71.5 provides positive silence if three months from filing pass without an express decision being notified.
Request proof of that result before the card step.
The renewed permission is four years with unrestricted employee/self-employed work, still conditional on the sponsor’s authorization (71.6).
Fees and receipt
Use the current official 790-052 renewal form and save proof of payment.
Keep your filed renewal receipt with the current authorization. The physical-card fee is a later separate payment.
