Spain 2026 Regularisation — Official-source guidance

Calm, practical pointers: what to read first, what to prepare, and where to find official updates. We do not determine eligibility.

Scope: Information and organisation support only. For legal advice or representation, consult a qualified immigration lawyer.

Start here

Read the official government announcements first — links below.
Identify which route may apply to your situation. A lawyer can advise on this.
Build a “proof file” of genuine documents. Never fabricate.
Check deadlines, validity periods, and translation or legalisation requirements.
Submit only through official channels. Avoid intermediaries charging “fees to process your case.”

Document readiness (general)

Identity: passport, civil status documents if relevant.
Residence history: padrón certificate and other genuine evidence (rental contract, bills, bank statements, medical appointments).
Background certificates if required by the specific pathway.
Work / income / ties evidence depending on the route.
Translations: sworn translation may be required for non-Spanish documents.
