This process is regulated by the Spanish Civil Code and requires meeting a set of specific requirements. Below are the steps and conditions needed to obtain Spanish nationality by residency. ✍️ Legal and Continuous Residency The fundamental requirement is to have legally resided in Spain for a specific period. The duration of this period varies depending on the applicant´s personal circumstances: 10 years: This is the general period required for most applicants. 5 years: For those who have obtained refugee status. 2 years: For nationals of Ibero-American countries, Andorra, the Philippines, Equatorial Guinea, Portugal, or individuals of Sephardic origin. 1 year: In specific cases, such as: Born in Spanish territory. Those who did not properly exercise their right to acquire Spanish nationality by option. Individuals who have been under the guardianship, care, or foster care of a Spanish citizen or institution for two consecutive years. Spouses of Spanish citizens. Widows/widowers of Spanish nationals, provided they were not legally or de facto separated at the time of death. Born outside of Spain to a father or mother, grandfather or grandmother, who were originally Spanish. Good Civic Conduct The applicant must demonstrate good civic conduct, which means having no criminal record in Spain or the country of origin. This requirement is verified through criminal record certificates. Integration into Spanish Society It is necessary to prove a sufficient degree of integration into Spanish society. This is assessed through an interview and, in some cases, by passing two exams: Test of Constitutional and Sociocultural Knowledge of Spain (CCSE): Evaluates the applicant´s knowledge of the Constitution, and the social and cultural reality of Spain. Spanish Language Knowledge Test (DELE): Required for applicants whose mother tongue is not Spanish. A level of A2 or higher is needed. Economic Means Although not an explicit requirement, it is viewed positively if the applicant has sufficient economic means to support themselves and their family in Spain. Required Documentation The nationality application must be accompanied by a set of documents, including: Duly completed application form. Foreigner Identity Card (TIE). Valid and complete passport. Certificate of registration with local authorities. Criminal record certificates from the country of origin and Spain. Marriage certificate (if applicable). Birth certificates of minor children (if applicable). Proof of payment of the applicable fee. Application Submission The application for nationality by residency is submitted electronically via the Ministry of Justice´s electronic headquarters. It is important to ensure that all documents are in order and correctly digitized to avoid delays in the process. Resolution of the File Once the application is submitted, the Ministry of Justice has a one-year period to resolve the file. During this time, the applicant may be asked to provide additional documentation or attend an interview. Oath or Pledge of Allegiance If the resolution is favorable, the applicant must swear or pledge allegiance to the King and obedience to the Constitution and the Spanish laws. This act is carried out before the corresponding Civil Registry. Conclusion Obtaining Spanish nationality by residency is a process that requires time and preparation. Meeting the legal requirements, demonstrating good civic conduct, and integrating into Spanish society are essential steps to achieve this goal. Spanish nationality not only offers personal and professional benefits but also allows full integration into Spain´s social and cultural life. ✨ ⚖️ Welcome to the Online Immigration Process offered by MCHM Abogados.
