    Hello Luis,

    If your card expires this summer, after 5 years of validity, you are entitled to apply for the Permanent residence Card as a Relative to an EU citizen, being the basic requirements to still keep the same Family relationship, have adequate sources of income and not having been out of the country for more than 30 months during the last 5 years and under no circumstances should any absence be of more than 12 consecutive months. You can find all the information about this application here. That new card will grant you a permanent right to stay, but the actual card will have to be renewed every 10 years ( renewal will be automatic ).

    As you are a Filipino citizen, you are eligible for Spanish nationality after 2 years of legal residency, which means you are eligible since August 2010. Therefore you can file your nationality application at the closest Civil Registry whenever you like. You can learn more about the requirements and procedure here.

    Default working in spain

    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!

    Default Residencia de larga duracion

    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

    Hello Valencio,

    You can check Chapter II article 37 of the Ley de Extranjeria where it indicates that the student status is regarded as stay and not residency. A stay status that can be extended if the students wishes to go on with the education and training course in Spain.

    The residency status is regarded once you have got a residence card based on a salaried or self employed work permit.
