    Default Spanish Citizenship

    Hi all,
    I have a Spanish father and am considering applying for a Spanish passport. I'm 28 and have lived and worked in the UK all my life but there are certain things pulling me towards Spain. Therefore I have just a few questions:

    Can I apply for a Spanish passport whilst still living and working in the UK?

    Do I have to spend any length of time in Spain before my being granted Spanish Citizenship?

    Regards
    Smiles

    Hi Smiles,

    Yes, in your case ( your father being Spanish) you will be able to apply for Spanish citizenship whilst living in the UK. In your case you don’t need to become resident in Spain to order to request it.

    Hi,

    Unless you have any Spanish parents you will need to reside legally in Spain before you can request it.

    You will be entitled to Spanish citizenship, after having resided legally in Spain for one year. The other requirement is that you have been married to a Spanish citizen for at least one year.

    Default Spanish Citizenship

    Hello, I'm brazilian and my mother lives in England, she has Spanish citizenship almost ready but can't leave England to sign such documents, because she has a job, then I wonder if she can finish the Spanish citizenship in England because she only need to sign a spanish birth certificate and then take her passport.

    I hope an answer, thank you!
