The recent change in immigration regulations has generated considerable interest among foreign residents in Spain, as well as among legal professionals and companies involved in immigration processes. These regulations introduce significant changes that aim to facilitate the social and economic integration of foreigners in Spain by simplifying certain procedures and expanding opportunities.

One of the main changes is the relaxation of requirements for the regularisation of foreigners who are in an irregular situation. Now, people who can prove that they have been in the country continuously for at least two years will be eligible for temporary permits, especially if they have family or work ties in Spain.

Another important aspect is the improvement in the conditions for obtaining residence and work permits for employees. Bureaucratic delays are reduced and it is easier for skilled workers and self-employed persons to obtain authorisation, thus promoting the incorporation of foreigners into the labour market in key sectors for the Spanish economy.

In addition, the regulation introduces significant advances in the concept of labour ties, simplifying the process of proving effective employment and the employment relationship. This will enable many foreigners to regularise their situation more quickly and securely.

New measures have also been established to attract international talent, particularly in the technological, scientific and digital sectors, with benefits in terms of streamlining and simplifying administrative procedures related to study, entrepreneurship or research visas.

It is also important to highlight the changes related to family reunification. The new regulations relax the financial requirements for sponsors, making it easier for more families to unite or remain together in Spain.
