❓ Has the regularization already been approved?
No. There is currently a draft Royal Decree, but it has not yet been approved or published in the Official State Gazette (BOE).
❓ Can I submit the application now?
Not yet. The process is expected to begin in early April and end on June 30, 2026.
❓ What can I do now?
It is advisable to start preparing the documentation and figuring out the best approach so that you are ready when the application period opens.
❓ Is it true that you can work before the decision is made?
According to the bill, once your application is accepted for processing, you may be able to obtain a provisional residence and work permit. That is why it is important to submit your application at the beginning of the process.
And if the decision arrives and it is favorable, the process doesn’t end there. What comes next — your TIE, the deadlines, renewal and Spanish citizenship — is explained step by step in the guide “You have your residence (or your application under way): what now?”.
❓ Who could benefit?
Mainly:
- People who applied for asylum before December 31, 2025.
- People who were in Spain before December 31, 2025.
❓ What happens if I have a deportation order?
The bill provides for the suspension of deportation proceedings in certain cases, but each case must be reviewed individually.
❓ What documents should I start gathering?
- Passport.
- Proof of residence in Spain.
- Certificate of criminal history (or proof of application).
- Work documents, certificates proving family ties, proof of enrollment for minor children, or social service reports, as applicable.
❓ Why is it important to seek advice beforehand?
Because submitting an application incorrectly can close future doors. It is very likely that the Immigration Offices will be overwhelmed by the flood of applications, and processing them will be significantly delayed. For this reason, you may only have one chance, and a mistake in your approach could have serious consequences for years to come.
And when your decision arrives, this is the next step: “Your residence is now under way. Here’s what comes next.”.
