Friends who are preparing to live in Spain will all have a residence card. This small card with personal information, photos and a string of foreigner numbers is a certificate of my legal residence in Spain. It is regulated by the Spanish Immigration Bureau and obtained the corresponding foreigner's rights. Depending on the ways and purposes of coming to Spain, the types of residence cards are different and the rights are different. For example, friends who hold students' residence can complete their studies in Spain within the prescribed period but cannot work freely (people who meet certain conditions are allowed to apply for a working permit). People who hold their boss' residence can open a company in Spain but cannot work for others.
Application for a long-term residence should start preparing as soon as possible
For people who have the idea of long-term residence in Spain, they must have a clear understanding of their type of residence policy in advance, so that they can avoid many worries in future applications and replacements. All types of residences need to be replaced frequently every year or biennial at the beginning, and each has specific replacement requirements. If you lack knowledge, you may suffer losses due to inadequate preparation and even lose your legal residence status in Spain.
For example, when changing jobs and residence in the first year, if the policy requirements for the minimum social security payment standards are not clear, the unemployment time in the middle is too long, and the replacement in the second year will be rejected. When applying for family members to live in Spain for a long time, if they do not prepare in advance, they will make their income, bank statements, and , and they may be at a loss because they cannot meet the requirements. For example, for those who hope to legalize their identity through rooted residence, if they are not clear about the three-year proof required when applying for rooted residence, they are likely to throw away some evidence that can prove that they live in Spain, such as air tickets, subway tickets, shopping tickets, residence certificates, etc. that can prove that they live in Spain.
The most authoritative source of information: Immigration Bureau official website
The most authoritative explanation for the requirements of various residence policies is that on the Spanish Immigration Bureau website, the application and update conditions and material requirements of each type of residence can be found, but it requires a certain degree of Spanish skills. Spain's residence policy is not permanent. The materials required may change every year, and this information will be published on the official website of the Immigration Bureau. Once you understand these needs, you can prepare your next application properly.
For friends who are not good at Spanish, you can call or go to a local Chinese law firm in person for consultation. In addition, the popular Xihua Forum and European and Chinese website among Spanish Chinese are also a way to search for some relatively new netizens’ experiences.
