Frequently asked questions

When should I apply for renewal?
You can submit the application from 60 days before expiration until 90 days after. It is best to do so within the first 60 days. If you exceed the deadline, you may be fined.
Can I work while waiting for resolution?
Yes. As long as you have applied for renewal before your card expires, you can continue working while it is being processed. The stamp or application proof certifies that you are legally in process.
How long does the resolution take?
The law sets a 3-month limit for resolution, but in practice, it may take from 1 to 6 months depending on the province and workload. You can check your application status on the foreigner's portal with your reference number.
What is long-term residence?
After 5 years of legal continuous residence in Spain, you may apply for permanent long-term residence (or EU), which has no practical expiration and provides greater stability. Consult this at the Immigration Office.
