Married to a Spanish national outside Spain
Hello,
I just got married to a Spanish girl in Dubai (Dubai court) and now I issued her a residence permit under my sponsorship. Please advise what is the procedure now to register our marriage in Spain and to process for me a Spanish residence permit (I don’t want to work in Spain, I just need it so I can travel to Spain whenever I want and to be able to register my future kids in Spain)
I am a Palestinian residing in the UAE.
Regards,

After one year of being married you can apply for a passport/citizenship but the whole process is very slow and you will probably have to wait between 3-5 years like my husband did (he waited 5 in total). You would have to live in Spain for this time and learn Spanish as you will be tested when its time to get your passport.
Good luck!
Hello,
it was really informative about the actual waiting time to get the citizenship of your husband. When we read the law it all seems easy as it says one year marriage and one year residency in Spain. But I just want to ask you a question. I heard that this waiting time to acquire the citizenship (which was 5 years in your husband's case) varies in different provinces in Spain. For example Barcelona or Madrid are the busiest and they need long time time. But other places take much lesser time as they are less crowded. Can you tell anything about this?
