Residence Permit

[Unregistered]

Thanks Marta.

The reason I asked about regimen comuntario vs regimen general is that I am renewing my tarjeta de residencia de cuidadano and I need to show all documents again and actualizado like marriage certificate, etc. which aren't quick to get especially if you need to get them outside of the EU.

Now is it possible to change from regimen comunitario to regimen general if you have living in Spain continuously for five years?

Hi,

In your circumstances you have up to six months to change from regimen comunitario to regimen general. You can apply for the permanent residency normally after five years, not before. There are certain exceptions to the rule. So do check with your lawyer whether you would fit into any of them.

Hello Subhejamal,

I recommend you to get a fresh certificate at the earliest just before the appointment at the Immigration office. Sometimes, in lack of a valid certificate, the immigration office can issue a document request note that allows about 10 days to provide with a fresh certificate. Some other times, they will just refuse to process the file for that reason and request you to prepare it again from the beginning.

The best thing is to explain them what has happened and they will let you know if it is possible for them to issue the documentation request note. Unfortunately, there is no way to speed things up in those matters.

Regards,
