having permanent comunatario residency can i work in whole europa

Hello,

Residencia de Larga duración is granted to those non EU citizens that have been living in Spain legally during 5 years. Once applied for and granted, it is renewed every 5 years.

The EU permanent residency - Residencia Permanente comunitaria, is granted to those relatives to EU citizens, and is renewed every 10 years. As you are already divorced and therefore no longer subject to the EU regime, you would get the ordinary Larga Duracion Residency.
However, due to the modifications indicated in the Royal Decree 1710/2011, of 18th November, in relation to Royal Decree 240/2007 that regulates EU citizens regime, you will not lose your status as comunitario if you can prove the marriage lasted at least 3 years and that at least 1 of those years you resided in Spain. You will also be required to prove sources of income in Spain to be able to apply for that type of permanent residency.

Hello,

In that case you will have no problems to apply for the residencia de larga duracion ( or permanent ) comunitaria.

In response to your main query: Yes, with that type of permit you can work in any EU country as any EU citizen can do.

I think you have keen interest in your profession. I discussed my case with different lawyers differnt forums but no body gave me proper refrences like you. So again Thanks
Pls try to find out solution for nationality also. Because normally Asian people have right to apply for nationality after 10years. It was same like portugal, but now they are giving nationality after 06years. U can see detail on this site

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_nationality_law
In this site u study headings pls "Birth in Portugal, Naturalisation as a Portuguese citizen"

Belgium giving nationality after 05 years. Even in lot of european countries after getting permanent card u can apply for nationality with in 12month to 18month they clear the case of nationality. but in spain still after 10years we can apply for nationality. After spending 12year to 13 year we can get nationality.

Is there any law or under consideration law to change nationlity law in spain?
Now in spain a lot of people have 05year card but they have no job. getting PARO, AYUDA So this is a big burdon on spain. If Government give them nationality they will leave spain. A lot of problems will solve automatically.

So pls study deeply for to solve this problem also.
awaiting ur comments pls.

Hello,

Thank you for your compliments.

The Spanish Law in relation to the Spanish nationality requirements have not changed to date, that is, that any non EU citizen that has no family ties with any Spanish national, nor was born in Spain, cannot opt for Spanish nationality unless he/she has lived in Spain legally for 10 years. This is called Spanish nationality due to residency.

We are unaware of any projected changes regarding these regulations in the near future.

Hello Miss Patricia

My residency regimen comunitario is expiring in m/o june2012. I m working in spain last 04 years regularly. I have job contract also. My wife is Portugeesa. She is not in my contact.
In Oct2011 I applied for divorce.
In Feb2012 I paid fees of Parquridor. My lawyer is saying that court sent divorce notifications on my wife adresses.
My question is
1. In this sitution how much more time required for completion of divorce.
2. In case if divorce process does not complete, then which residency i will get.
Thanks in adv. Hope u will guide me also

[Patricia]

Hello,

The divorce notifications should be sent to you both, not to only your wife, and your lawyer should make sure you are accordingly notified of any resolution related to the divorce. As I do not have the particulars of the case, I believe that your lawyer will be able to let you know what is the approximate duration of the process and when it should be finished.

Once you residency expires in June, you will have to apply for the residencia de larga duracion, under regimen comunitario, that is, that as you have been married for more than 3 years to an EU citizen and legally living in Spain for 5 years, you can apply for this type of residency ( form EX-19 ) and as you will be requested to provide with proof of income, the work contract will be of help.

Please feel free to contact me on patricia at Lawbird.com if you wish to discuss your particular case.

I have a query about working in Spain. In 2004 I married an EU citizen (Ireland) who had residency in Spain (I am an American). In 2005 I received my NIE. I worked continuously in Spain from 2005 through 2011. In 2010, when I renewed my NIE, I received Residente Permanente (expires 24-02-2020). Unfortunately in the fall of 2011, we divorced. I left Spain for work elsewhere and have been out of the country for about 1 and half years. I now have an offer of work in Spain and want to return. I consulted two lawyers and received two different answers! I am hoping you can give me some advice.
The first lawyer said there was no problem. I have Residente Permanente status. And I was married for over three years and I had lived in Spain for more than one of those years.
The second lawyer said that whilst the above was true, I had to apply to the Ministry of the Interior for permission to live in Spain and permission to work in Spain before I could accept the job offer.
I would appreciate your advice.
Thank you!

Hello Patricia,

I have completed living in Spain for 5 years. The first two years of this stay were as a student, and later on a work contract. I went to apply for the Residencia de larga duracion (normal), but the officer incharge refused to process my application saying that NIE - Estancia por motivos de estudios that I had in the first 2 years does not constitute residency. I wanted to confirm whether this is the case since I cannot find this written anywhere in the the Spanish law [i.e. Ley Orgánica 4/2000, de 11 de enero, sobre derechos y libertades de los extranjeros en España y su integración social. ArtÃ*culo 32 Residencia de larga duración].

Many Thanks and Regards,

Valencio
