Frequently asked questions

When should I apply for renewal?
You can submit the application from 60 days before expiration up to 90 days after. It is best to do it within the first 60 days. If you miss the deadline, you may be fined.
Can I work while waiting for resolution?
Yes. As long as you have applied before expiration, you can continue working while your application is processed. The stamp or receipt of the application attests to your legal status in the process.
How long does the resolution take?
The law stipulates 3 months for resolution, but in practice it may take 1-6 months depending on the province and workload. You can check the status with your application number on the foreigners' portal.
What is long-term residence?
After 5 years of legal continuous residence in Spain, you can apply for long-term residence (or EU), which practically has no expiration date and provides greater stability. Consult it at the Foreigners Office.
