Permanent comunitario changed larga duracion EU

[Daniyal]

Hi,
Thank a lot, there is great information for all,
My question is regarding residence permit,
i am from india, I just got my (5 years) permanent residency in spain, and i did not apply family immigration in spain for my wife, but recently my wife came to norway for 2 years study visa, now i am planning to apply norwegian residence card as a spouse of my wife.
my question is that if i will get residence permit from norway, so my spanish permanent residency will be cancelled or not ? is it possible i will take both residency? but i will use one at one time. because i don't want to lose my spanish residence permit. plese guide me. Thanks

Hello Daniyal,

It is not possible to hold residency in two different countries. You will need to chose one or another.

Hello, we hold Larga Duracion which is valid for 4 more years. We want to swtich to Larga Duracion UE now. What is the best way to do this?

Hello,

If you wish to switch to that type of card, a specific application has to be filed at the immigration office, including documentation that proves you have a private medical insurance and sufficient sources of income for the whole family.

Sources of income must be quantified using as reference 150% monthly IPREM minimum for a 2 member family and adding 50% per additional dependent.
Current monthly IPREM is 537,84 €. That is 806.76 € per month for a two member family, 1,065.78 € per month for a three member family.
