What Is Citizenship by Residency?
It’s one of the most common ways for foreigners to acquire Spanish nationality. This path is available to non-Spanish nationals who have lived legally and continuously in Spain for a specific period.
Citizenship by residency is governed by Spain’s general immigration law, with the standard requirement being 10 years of legal residence. However, the law provides several exceptions that allow for significantly shorter timeframes.
Required Periods of Residence:
- 10 years: General requirement for most applicants
- 5 years: For recognized refugees
- 2 years: For nationals of Ibero-American countries, Andorra, the Philippines, Equatorial Guinea, Portugal, or of Sephardic origin
- 1 year: For those born in Spain; spouses of Spanish citizens (not legally separated); widows/widowers of Spanish citizens (if not separated at the time of death); children or grandchildren of Spaniards by origin
