4 formas de se regularizar na Espanha em 2025
New Regulations for Foreigners in Spain
Overview of Changes
- The new foreigner regulations effective from May 2025 allow individuals to regularize their status in Spain after just 2 years of residency, down from the previous requirement of 3 years. This significant change simplifies the regularization process.
Four Ways to Obtain Legal Residency
- Arraigo Sociolaboral: For those who have been in Spain for 2 years and possess a job offer. This is currently one of the most sought-after pathways.
- A real case example was shared where an individual received favorable resolution on November 11, 2025, allowing them to work freely across all sectors in Spain with an initial one-year permit.
Client Experience
- A conversation highlighted the approval process for a client named Daniel, who expressed relief upon learning his application was successful. The team emphasized their commitment to supporting clients through this journey.
Other Regularization Options
- Arraigo Social with Direct Family: Available for individuals without a job offer but who have direct family members legally residing in Spain (e.g., spouse, parents).
- Arraigo Social by Means: For those lacking both a job offer and direct family ties but can prove an income of €600 monthly (€7,200 annually). This allows them to apply for residency and work normally.
Final Option for Regularization
- Arraigo Socioformativo: Ideal for individuals without employment offers or family connections. Applicants must commit to completing a job-related course in Spain while being granted work authorization up to 30 hours per week.
