What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?

Spouses, registered partners and unmarried minor children (including adoptive and step children) of holders can join through family reunification, with spouses and registered partners required to be 21 or older when applying. This does not apply to au pairs: family reunification with au pair sponsors is not possible.
