The only way of obtaining a Spanish work and residence permit or simply a residence permit, is by requesting it. It is true that one of the requirements of one of the residence permits in Spain, is met by owing a property in Spain. However this is only one of the various requirements. You will need to prepare your file with great care and once this is ready, submit it. You will then need to wait a few months for the resolution. Due to the complexity of the matter, we once again recommend that you are assisted by an immigration lawyer.
Generally citizenship will be acquired after having resided legally in Spain for ten years. In some circumstances it can be requested after one, two or even five years. In order to find out which category you fit into, feel free to send us an enquiry to our web site. You will need to indicate your place of birth, nationality, whether you are married to a Spaniard or have any Spanish bloodline.
