Offers Extraordinary Regularisation of Foreigners in Spain

It is an exceptional and temporary mechanism created so that foreign nationals living in Spain without regular papers can obtain a residence and work permit valid for one year. This process will only be open for a specific period: from mid-April to June 30, 2026. Outside of those dates, it will not be possible to avail of it

To qualify for this process, the following criteria must be met:

• Entry before a key date: It must be proven that the person arrived in Spain before January 1, 2026.
• Continuous stay in the country: An uninterrupted residence of at least 5 months is required. This can be demonstrated with documents such as receipts, contracts, medical reports, school enrollment proof, among others.
• No criminal record in country of origin: A criminal record certificate from the country of origin must be submitted, duly apostilled or legalized as applicable.
• No criminal record in Spain: It is also essential to have no criminal record within Spanish territory.

To justify the 5 months of continuous stay, both public and private documents that prove residence in Spain are accepted. Some valid examples include:

• Lease agreement or municipal registration certificate (empadronamiento).
• Employment contracts (even if not regularized).
• Utility bills (electricity, water, gas).
• Medical certificates or clinical records.
• School enrollment proof for children or for the applicant themselves.
• Tax returns filed.
• Payroll records, even from informal employment.

In short, any documentary evidence that links the applicant to a real and continuous stay in the country for at least five months.
