You filed under the extraordinary regularisation, or you missed it

2026 extraordinary regularisation: follow-up and alternatives

What is included

  • Following up a filed application and answering requests for correction
  • Appealing a refusal, where it has merit and within the deadline
  • Assessing the alternative route where no application was filed: residence on social grounds, international protection or another permit

What is included and what is not promised

On 14 April 2026 the Council of Ministers approved Royal Decree 316/2026, opening an extraordinary regularisation for people who were in Spain before 1 January 2026, could evidence five months' continuous stay and had no criminal record. Applications opened on 16 April and closed on 30 June 2026, with no extension. If you filed, the file is live and what matters now is answering properly. If you did not, the way out is another route, and there are several.

What it includes: following up a filed application and answering requests for correction; appealing a refusal, where it has merit and within the deadline; assessing the alternative route where no application was filed: residence on social grounds, international protection or another permit. What it does not include: we cannot file out of time: the date was set by the royal decree and could not be extended. What we can do is find the route that is still open.

Documents you will need

  • Proof of filing, if you applied.
  • Full valid passport.
  • Historical registration record and any proof of your stay in Spain.
  • Any request or decision received.

It grants one year's residence and work, valid only in Spain; decision times depend on each province's caseload, which in this process has been very high.

  3. Filing and receipt

    We answer the correction request or file the appeal against the refusal, within the deadline and with a receipt.

  4. Tracking and corrections

    We follow the file to the decision and, if this route closes, tell you which settlement or other permit you can apply for.

What to have at hand

  • Proof of filing, if you applied
  • Full valid passport

  • Any request or decision received

Frequently asked questions

Has the deadline been extended?

No. The royal decree set 30 June 2026 as the deadline and it could not be extended.

I missed it — what is left?

It depends on your situation: residence on social, socio-labour, training, family or second-chance grounds, and in some cases international protection. We look at it with you at no cost.

They have asked me for documents.

That is normal in this process. Answering completely and on time is what decides the file, and there we can help.

What permit does it grant?

Residence and work for one year, in any sector and anywhere in Spain.
