Pathways to Spanish Immigration
The following is a guide to
immigration to Spain to live in the country permanently. Find out about
temporary visa options by visiting the Spain Visa Requirements page.
There are two main ways to reside permanently in the country and these
are taking up a residence visa or applying for citizenship. Find out
which one you qualify for by taking the free assessment.
Residence Visa
A Spain residence permit – entitling
the holder to live permanently in the country – can be obtained in a
number of ways. If you have an offer of employment you can apply to the
Spain immigration department for a long–term visa to work in the country
which will also entitle you to immigrate to Spain permanently (or for
as long as you have work). Emigrating to Spain is also possible if you
are retired. For this you will need proof that you have sufficient funds
to support yourself for the duration of your stay and a medical
certificate. Finally migration to Spain is also an option if you have a
close family member who has resided in the country for over a year and
had their residence permit for Spain renewed. Family members eligible
for this type of visa include the spouse or minor children of the permit
holder or their elderly parents. Find out if you are eligible by taking
the free assessment.
Applying for Citizenship
Some nationalities can apply for
Spanish citizenship after 10 years of continual and legal residence in
the country. In addition, if married to a Spanish national, some
nationalities can apply for citizenship after just one year. In every
case, to obtain permanent immigration to Spain under the Spanish
citizenship law, a person must renounce his or her original nationality.
