Why acquire Spanish nationality?

Obtaining Spanish nationality opens the door to a wide range of rights and opportunities beyond just residency. As a Spanish citizen, you will be able to:

Live and work in any European Union country
Vote in local and national elections.
Reside indefinitely in Spain without the need for periodic residency permit renewals.

Main pathways to Spanish nationality

There are several ways to acquire Spanish nationality. Our team of specialized immigration lawyers will guide you through the process, helping you find the best option based on your circumstances:

Nationality by residence

This pathway is available to those who have legally resided in Spain for a prolonged period. Typically, 10 years of residence are required, though this period is reduced to 2 years for citizens of Ibero-American countries, the Philippines, Equatorial Guinea, Portugal, and Andorra, or even 1 year for those born in Spain or married to Spaniards.

Nationality by origin

Automatically granted to individuals born in Spain to Spanish parents or to children of foreign parents, provided at least one parent is a legal resident in Spain at the time of birth.

Nationality by option

This process is available for those who have a special connection to Spain, such as children of Spaniards who lost their nationality or individuals adopted by Spanish citizens.

Nationality by descent

The grandchildren of Spanish nationals may apply for nationality if they meet specific requirements, allowing them to reconnect with their family roots.
