Residence in Spain · General Regime

A different reason.A different route.

Where a foreign national’s situation does not fit the specific international mobility categories, residence can be structured through the routes provided for in the general immigration regime (régimen general de extranjería): work, family, arraigo (residence on the basis of established ties in Spain), long-term residence and the other permits, modifications and situations provided for by law.
