Question and answer

A residence permit in Spain is an official document that gives foreign citizens the right to temporary or permanent residence on its territory. If you are going to stay in Spain for less than 3 months, you will need a regular visa. However, for a long-term stay in the country, you must obtain a residence permit, which takes several weeks to process.

Obtaining a residence permit in Spain is mandatory, as this document provides the following rights and opportunities:

  • Legal stay in Spain 365 days a year;
  • Opening bank accounts;
  • Obtaining loans from banks;
  • Free movement within the Schengen area;
  • The ability to obtain permanent residence in Spain after a few years, and then citizenship.

There are certain restrictions imposed on a residence permit in Spain:

  • The need to stay in the country for at least 183 days a year;
  • Compliance with Spanish legislation.

The first residence permit is issued for 1 year, after which it can be extended. The second residence permit is issued for 2 years, and it can also be extended for another 2 years. After living in Spain for 5 years, you will not be able to extend the residence permit, but you can apply for permanent residence. After another 5 years of residence in the country, you can receive a Spanish passport.

In Spain, various types of residence permits are available to Russian citizens, including:

  • Without the right to work: for individuals who are unable to find employment;
  • Investment: requires investment in the Spanish economy;
  • Educational: intended for students;
  • Work: with the right to employment;
  • Scientific research: to conduct scientific research;
  • Family reunification: for individuals who already have close relatives living in the country;
  • Family: granted to families with children living in Spain.

Depending on the type of residence permit, a different set of documents is required. For example, for an educational residence permit, you must provide acceptance documentation from the educational institution, and for an investment residence permit, you must provide confirmation of investments in real estate or business.

The process of obtaining a residence permit in Spain includes the following steps:

  1. Preparing and submitting documents to the Spanish consulate.
  2. Waiting for a decision, which can take from 1 to 3 months.
  3. Obtaining a residence permit in the event of a positive decision from the consulate.
  4. Entering Spain within 3 months after receiving the residence permit, otherwise the document becomes invalid.
  5. Obtaining a resident card within a month after entry.

It is important to meet all processing deadlines, since violation of the law can lead to deportation. The consulate may refuse to issue a residence permit, most often due to improper preparation of documents. In case of refusal, it is necessary to correct the errors and re-submit the documents, but this can delay the registration process. Therefore, it is recommended to prepare documents correctly from the very beginning, if necessary, seeking help from specialists.

If you are interested in the current status of your residence permit in Spain, there are several ways to check it online. One of them is to use the Extranjería web resource. In order to find out the status, you need to follow a special link, which is provided on the website abcspain.ru. Here you will find detailed instructions on how to check the status of your case in the Extranjería system.

If you are thinking about obtaining a residence permit in Spain based on the purchase of real estate, it is important to note that at the moment this type of residence is only available on the condition that the cost of the acquired property is at least 500,000 euros, and the transaction is carried out without the use of mortgage funds since 2013. This type of residence is called an investor residence permit. However, if this investment option does not suit you, there is an alternative – obtaining a residence permit without the right to work. To do this, you must provide documents on income outside Spain in the amount of at least 26,000 euros for the first family member and 7,000 for each subsequent member, as well as have an amount in a Spanish bank account corresponding to the income. In addition, it is required to conclude a lease agreement for 1 year or have documents confirming the ownership of real estate in Spain.
