Questions, answered.

The application, qualifying conditions and outcome for Spain. Choose a service to see its specific answers.

How can this route lead to permanent residence and citizenship?

Residence: Maintain the selected non-lucrative, entrepreneur or international-teleworker residence authorisation and its qualifying conditions. Long-term residence · from 5 years: Five years of legal, continuous residence can support a long-term residence application, subject to the permitted-absence and other applicable conditions. Spanish citizenship · normally 10 years: Nationality by residence normally requires ten years of legal, continuous residence immediately before application, good civic conduct and integration. Reduced periods apply to specified nationalities and personal circumstances, the Spanish-language and civic tests apply unless exempt. Long-term residence does not automatically produce a passport. A shorter nationality period must be established from your own nationality or family circumstances.
