I'm illegal here in spain, what do i do now to get my permiso de residencia

[Unregistered]

Hi Jerry,

If you are able to prove that you have lived in Spain for more than three years, you can request a type of permit called: “Permiso de Residencia por Arraigo Social”. Amongst many other requirements, you will need to have clean police records in Spain and in your home country, and have a job offer with a minimum duration period of one year. For more information on this permit please feel free to PM me.

if i dont have a resident card is it a must to renew my registration at city hall or i can go there after three years to get a confirmation,
alot of my colleagues say i have to renew my Empadronamiento but i i did not understand why though as i still live in that same house and i am assured about that.

Hi,

You need to renew the empadronamiento every two years if you are in an irregular situation, and apply for settlement ( Arraigo Social ) after 3 years of continued stay in Spain. Once you are a resident you don´t have to renew the empadronamiento so often any more.

Regards

Patricia
