Sanchez: Over a million requests in foreigner settlement
The Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, announced that more than one million applications have been registered for regularizing the status of undocumented foreign nationals in Spain, following the closure of the exceptional mechanism launched in mid-April. Sánchez considered this process an important step in alleviating the bureaucratic vulnerability of the beneficiaries. It also underscores the importance of a legal, safe, and organized immigration policy to support the economy and address the aging issues within Spanish society. Authorities will review the applications over a three-month period to grant residence and work permits within Spanish territory, provided that applicants demonstrate a minimum of five months of residence and have a clean criminal record. Additionally, the government announced a citizenship and integration plan with a budget of 500 million euros for the first year.
