Frequently asked questions

When should I apply for the renewal?
You can submit the application from 60 days before expiration up to 90 days after. It is best to do so 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 until your application is resolved. The stamp or proof of application certifies that you are legally in process.
How long does it take to get the decision?
The law states a maximum of 3 months for resolution, but in practice it may take between 1 and 6 months depending on the province and workload. You can check your application status online with your reference number.
What is long-term residency?
After five years of legal continuous residence in Spain, you can apply for long-term residency (or EU), which does not practically expire and gives greater stability. Consult the immigration office for more details.
