What is the immigration process like?

How can I travel to and live in Spain?
If you wish to travel to Spain, you will need to obtain a visa or entry authorisation, depending on your country of origin. This permit will allow you to stay in the country for a maximum of three months and, if necessary, it could be extended under justified circumstances.
It is important to note that some stay permits may have longer terms, depending on the activity you plan to carry out in Spain. For example, a study permit will allow you to live in the country for the duration of your academic programme.
If your purpose is to settle in Spain for more than three months, you will need to explore options such as studying, working, or meeting the requirements established for family reunification, as well as the exceptional situations provided for in immigration regulations.
Starting an immigration procedure
If you want to start an immigration procedure with our solicitors in Albacete, you can carry out this process by filing an "APPLICATION TO INITIATE AN AUTHORISATION". This application is essential to obtain a visa, stay permit, residence permit or even Spanish nationality. Our immigration solicitors in Albacete are available to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring efficient and successful management.
Visas to enter Spain
To enter Spain, foreign nationals must present their personal identification document and, where necessary, a visa, which must be obtained before arriving in the country.
Contact us from your country of origin and we will provide remote advice with our solicitors specialised in immigration. Our aim is to guide you in meeting the requirements needed to obtain the visa, well in advance of your planned entry into Spain. We are here to make your journey smooth and successful thanks to the experience of our expert immigration solicitors in Albacete.
When entering Spain, the foreign national must present their identification document and, if required, a visa issued before entering Spanish territory.
In addition, evidence of sufficient financial means and documentation supporting the purpose of the trip will be required. This could include flight tickets (return), accommodation bookings, letters of invitation or enrolment at educational institutions, among other relevant documents.
Exceptions are made in humanitarian situations or those of public interest. However, if the established requirements are not met, entry may be refused by means of a reasoned decision. That decision may be appealed within the legally established time limits, either before the corresponding administrative authorities (Embassies or Consulates, the competent Government Delegate or Sub-delegate, the Director of the Foreigners' Detention Centre) or through the courts.
To ensure a smooth process, we invite you to contact our immigration solicitors in Albacete from your country of origin.

If you face this situation, our team of expert immigration solicitors in Albacete is available to give you specialised advice. We will analyse the reasons behind the refusal of entry, assess whether an appeal against the unfavourable decision is viable and explore the existing possibilities to facilitate your entry into the country. We are here to offer the legal assistance you need in border refusal situations, adapting our strategies to your particular circumstances.
Is it possible to challenge an immigration decision?
Yes, it is possible to file an appeal against a refusal in an immigration procedure.
These appeals may be filed before the administrative bodies that issued the decision, through administrative channels. There is also the option of appealing to the courts by means of an administrative court appeal.
Our solicitors specialised in immigration in Albacete will carefully analyse your situation and take the necessary steps to challenge those decisions that are detrimental to your interests. If you are facing an adverse decision, do not hesitate to contact us to receive the legal advice you need and appeal effectively.
Stay permit in Spain
If you intend to stay in the country for a period longer than ninety days but no more than one additional year, you will need to apply for an extension of the stay authorisation or hold a stay permit valid for more than 90 days, such as a study permit for the duration of the academic programme. As specialist immigration solicitors in Albacete, we can help you.
If you are considering extending your stay in Spain beyond the legally established period, we recommend sending an enquiry to the firm setting out your situation. Get precise advice from our expert immigration solicitors in Albacete and manage your extension or study permit as a foreign student. We are here to help you navigate legal processes successfully.
Short-term stay permits are limited to 90 days, requiring an extension or residence permit for longer stays. The process ends with a decision, either favourable or unfavourable, which may be challenged.
If you are seeking a stay permit for studies exceeding 90 days, submit the necessary documentation to the diplomatic mission or Consular Office. If the decision is positive, the period of stay will be indicated; if it exceeds 6 months, apply for the Foreigner Identity Card within 1 month, which is compatible with work activities. This process also ends with a decision that can be appealed.
Family members of holders of a stay authorisation for studies must apply for the corresponding visa.
Extensions of stay may be requested for up to a maximum of one year, filing the application within the 60 days before the permit expires.
In the case of European students on higher education programmes, the stay must be notified within one month after entry. The decision will be notified within one month of the application, and the student must enter Spain within one month of approval. This process is also subject to appeal.
Long-term permit
After accumulating five years of continuous residence in Spanish territory, you have the possibility of applying for an indefinite long-term permit.
Trust our immigration solicitors to manage this process efficiently and successfully. We are here to advise you and make obtaining your long-term permit straightforward.
The long-term residence authorisation is a permit that allows foreign nationals to live and work in Spain indefinitely, under the same conditions as Spanish citizens.
There are two categories: long-term residence and EU long-term residence. To obtain this authorisation, certain requirements must be met, including having resided legally and continuously in Spain for a period of five years, with absences of no more than ten months during that period.
Trust our specialist solicitors to carry out this process efficiently. We are here to advise you and help you obtain your long-term residence authorisation successfully.
