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

    Hello

    Yes, regimen comunitario and general ar two different immigration names to differentiate the rules that apply for the authorizations but they are both legal in terms of being authorized to reside in Spain.

    You say that you are not yet legal? But you mentioned in your message you got a 5 year residence card. I am afraid your message is confusing, so please clarify so I can give you the correct advice.

    If you divorce ( and you are a legal resident with the 5 year residence card as the relative if an EU citizen ), you can shift to a residence permit under regimen general; that is, you will still have a legal status but no longer considered under the ruling for those that are relatives of EU citizens.

    Regards,

    At the moment, I am legal, and got a 5-year card after got married with my girl friend. But if she divorces me, which she said, then I would be illegal, right? Please note that I had been married for only 4 months now. I got married in February 2015, and just got a 5-year card one month ago, but now she says she will divorce me. In that case, what will be my status?

    Hello

    As soon as the divorce has been formalized you will no longer have the right to be considered a resident under regimen comunitario; you have the obligation to notify the divorce. If you do not divorce, your card is still valid.

    You can only shift to regimen general if you have complete 3 years of marriage, being one of those years a legal resident in Spain.

    Thanks Patricia,

    One last question. After 3 years of marriage, I can shift to regimen general. So my question is: how long is the regimen general card? Is it also for 5 years? Do I need to have a job to renew the regimen general card?

    Hello

    If you completed 3 years of marriage and one of them being a resident in Spain, you will be able to shift to regimen general and the card will be valid for 2 years. After that you will have completed 5 years of legal residence and be eligible for the Long Stay Residence card.

    You will be asked to provide with financial documentation at the time of renewal/long stay residence card application. If you do not have a job, you will have to show proof of savings or proof the unemployment benefit at least .
