Hi,

I came to spain in early 2008 and have lived here since. I have a clean record and have never been in trouble, either here, or in my home country of Pakistan. Someone told me to get proof of my clean record in my home country, which I have just received from the police there.

I have heard that after 3 years I can apply for a visa to become legal, is this true?

If so, what do I need to do and what are the costs of doing this? Also what would be the timeframe of this?

Thank you in advance for any help provided.
