Rey Expat Advisors

Yesterday the Spanish Government approved a Decreto Ley regarding a massive "regularización" for immigrants that are currently here in Spain but in an irregular situation and that comply with certain requeriments.

What we know so far is:
- It could be requested from 01/04/26 to 30/06/26
- You would have to prove you have been living in Spain for at least 5 months before 31/12/25.
- You will have to prove you do not have criminal records in your country.
- You will have the right to work from the moment the application has been admitted to be reviewed.
- It is not a residencia permit itself, it is a permit to live and work in Spain for a year while your sort your legal situation (it will not count for citizenship purposes, for example).

What we do NOT know:
- the actual process: how, where...
- the economical means you will have to prove (if any) or how.
- how you will have to prove you have been living in Spain for the period the say.
- the fees attached.
- how do they plan to answer if the application has been admitted to be checked within 15 days if they are already overloaded with work and they are not planning in getting extra staff for the immigration offices...
- how is it going to work exactly, in general terms.

Hopefully we will know more very soon, and we will keep you posted.
