SPAIN - APPLYING FOR RESIDENCY

Anyone wanting to stay in Spain for more than 90 days needs a Residencia. Without one you must return to your home country or apply for a Temporary Residence Permit. After 6 months you need a full Residential Permit which is good for 2 years initially and thereafter lasts for 5 years.

Residencia Application

“Go to the Comisaria de Policia in any main town Police Station and say you wish to apply for Residencia and would like:-

A current list of the documents needed for making an application.
An application form called Solicitud de Tarjeta en Regimen Comunitario (it is in triplicate.)
Form No.790
Take the Form 790 to your Spanish bank for completion. This form confirms your Spanish Bank account number and money held there (for this service you pay a small fee.) If you are a Pensioner you must also ask the bank for a Certificado Bancario which confirms the amount of your pension and frequency of payment. You then return to the Police Station with:-

Completed Form 790 together with a photocopy
Certificado Bancario together with a photocopy. (Letter from your bank re income.)
Medical Form 121 or your Spanish medical registration card, plus a photocopy of each side
Certifica de Empadronamiento. This is a card sent to you by the local Town Hall which proves that you are on the Electoral Register
Passport and one photocopy
Four passport size photographs.
Each individual must apply personally with all the relevant documents. Once applied for, it can take several months to process. Once it is issued it is good practice to carry it with you.

Who doesn’t need to apply for a residence card?
UK nationals who are Employees, Self-employed, Students.
Dependants of an EU or Spanish national.
Pensioners who receive their pension from the Spanish Social Security system.
Who must obtain a residence card?
UK Pensioners who have retired to Spain.

This is the current information for applying for Residency as with all countries requirements change and Travel Advice Pages will try to keep you updated with any changes.
