Have you lived in Spain and lost your residence permit? This could be your second chance!
The second-chance arraigo residence permit is designed for individuals who previously held legal residence in Spain but were unable to renew their permit for reasons unrelated to public order, national security, or public health.
Even if your renewal was denied, or if you were subject to a dismissed case or an acquittal, you may now have the opportunity to regularize your status.
This residence permit also includes work authorization — both as an employee and as a self-employed professional — without geographic or occupational restrictions during its validity.
At IGOLAW, we guide you through the entire process: analyzing your immigration background, preparing all required documentation, submitting your application, and legally representing you before the authorities.
Let us handle the legal process so you can focus on rebuilding your stability and fully exercising your right to work in Spain.
People who have lived continuously in Spain for at least 2 years, and who can prove the following:
They held a residence permit (not granted under exceptional circumstances) within the two years immediately prior to the application.
The failure to renew the permit was not due to public order, security, or public health reasons.
IMPORTANT: You may also apply if there was a court ruling denying renewal, a dismissal, or an acquittal for the penalty that caused the non-renewal.
The residence permit includes a work authorization enabling both self-employment and employment, without any geographic or job-type restrictions, for the duration of the permit.
You must be physically present in Spain (not applying for international protection).
You have resided continuously in Spain for at least 2 years.
You must have no criminal record and pose no threat to public security.
You must not be subject to a return ban or deemed inadmissible to Spain.
