Hello Atram,

A child born to Philippine parents is a Philippine national iuri sanguinis, that is, he gets his parents´ nationality even if born out of the country. He would have to wait for one year to apply for citizenship based on the fact that he was born in Spain.

The child´s parents will be able to apply for legal residency once the child has a legal status in Spain ( Spanish citizenship ). As carers of the children, they will have the right to apply for residency by Family settlement.

Please feel free to contact me by clicking on my profile if you wish to discuss your particular case.

Regards,
