RESIDENCE PERMIT IN SPAIN: who and how can get it…
Every year, more and more of our compatriots decide to move to Spain for permanent residence and are faced with the need to obtain a residence permit in this country. There can be many reasons for leaving Russia and moving to Spain: some already have real estate there, while others are attracted by the Spanish flavor and culture. Today, there is a trend in the world that citizens of all countries are increasingly free to choose a place for permanent residence in any corner of the planet, if they have the desire, funds and the necessary documents. Why not?
To obtain a residence permit in Spain, you must prove that you do not need work or already have a certain job, since the state primarily cares about the well-being of its people.
There are several types of obtaining residency in Spain:
If you have a large sum of money in your account that brings in a daily income of 150 euros, or you are the owner of a profitable enterprise and own real estate in Spain, obtaining a permanent residence permit in the country is almost guaranteed. Those who are married to a Spaniard or are a close relative of a working resident may also be lucky.
If your goal is to obtain a residence permit without the right to work and subsequently obtain a work permit, you can always obtain a repeat residence permit. This is easier than becoming a resident for the first time.
Ultimately, the more “net” income you can demonstrate, the higher your chances of getting the coveted residency card.
To apply for a D visa for residence in Spain, you need to calculate and determine how many days a year you plan to stay in this country. If your stay in Spain exceeds 180 days a year, it is advisable to begin the procedure for obtaining a D visa. If you plan to stay in Spain less than 180 days a year, applying for permanent residence is pointless, since your residence permit will be cancelled after a year.
A D visa is issued at the Consular Section of the Spanish Embassy for a period of up to 3 months. After receiving a D visa, you must come to Spain within three months and contact the Foreign Citizens Department (Extranjería), which will issue you a residence permit card, the so-called “tarjeta”. When you first apply, this card will be issued for one year. When you extend it, the Spanish authorities will check your stay in Spain: if you have stayed in the country less than 180 days a year, you will be denied an extension of the residence card. In addition, you will spend a lot of money on paperwork for permanent residence and deprive yourself of the opportunity to reapply for residence in Spain. Therefore, before deciding whether you need a resident card, you should carefully consider whether an annual Schengen multiple-entry visa to Spain with the right to stay for 90 days in six months is enough for you.
The first step to obtaining a residence permit in Spain is to collect all the necessary documents. The list of documents for obtaining a residence permit without the right to receive income can be found on our website in the section “VISAS TO SPAIN”. Our company has extensive experience in processing and preparing a package of documents for submission to the Consular Section of the Embassy of Spain in Moscow. In order to avoid being denied a residence permit, it is necessary to responsibly collect and prepare documents for submission to the Consular Section of the Embassy of Spain in Moscow.
Important: Do not try to deceive the staff of the Spanish Consulate and provide false information. The consequences of such actions can be extremely serious, including criminal liability. In the best case, you will be “blacklisted” in the Schengen Information System database, and you will have to forget about the possibility of traveling to Schengen countries and obtaining Schengen visas.
Your application must include a compelling reason why you need residency in Spain. This important document will be the basis for deciding whether to grant you a permanent residence permit in Spain.

List of documents for applying for a residence permit in Spain:
If you have collected all the necessary documents and have filled them out correctly, then you are almost in possession of a residence permit in Spain. Now you need to submit all these documents to the Spanish Consulate in Moscow, although your case will be considered in Madrid. According to Spanish law, the documents will be examined for about six months. Your documents will undergo a thorough check, both at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Madrid and at the Interpol Service, the Ministry of Labor and Employment, and the Ministry of Industry.
You might think that six months is a very long time. But in reality, it is not. Many people who live illegally in Spain wait for many years to be legalized. So you need to be patient, and perhaps the answer will be ready in two months, and you will be able to obtain the desired residence in Spain.
During the verification process, you may be invited to a personal interview at the consulate. Before this important conversation, you should have a positive attitude. We hope that you know Spanish, as this can play a positive role in obtaining permanent residence in Spain.
