Frequently asked questions

When should I apply for the renewal?
You can apply up to 90 days before the expiration date, but it is best to do so within the first 60 days. If you exceed this period, you may be fined.
Can I work while waiting for the resolution?
Yes. You can continue working while your renewal application is being processed as long as you have an active application in progress.
How long does it take to get a resolution?
The law sets 3 months, but in practice, it may take between 1 and 6 months depending on the province's workload. You can check the status of your application on the foreigners portal with your reference number.
What is long-term residence?
After five years of legal continuous residence in Spain, you can apply for a long-term residence permit (or EU permanent resident), which has no practical expiration date and provides greater stability. Consult the Office of Foreigners for more information.
