What is settlement?

Settlement (Arraigo) is a special method of legalization in Spain that allows foreigners to obtain a residence permit based on their long-term stay in the country, social ties, employment, or study plans. This process is regulated by Spanish law and provides an opportunity to live and work in the country legally.
  • Arraigo Autónomo (Settlement for the Self-Employed):
    For those planning to start a business in Spain; a business plan, proof of its implementation, and confirmation of a minimum 3-year stay in the country are required.
  • Arraigo Laboral (Settlement through Employment):
    For those who can prove employment in Spain; a minimum 3-year stay in the country and a prior employment contract from an employer willing to officially hire the foreigner are required.
  • Arraigo para la Formación (Settlement for Training):
    For those wishing to study or undergo professional training in Spain; a 2-year stay in the country, proof of enrollment in an educational institution, and the right to work officially for up to 3 hours a day after completing the courses are required.
  • Arraigo Social (Settlement through Social Integration):
    To obtain it, a 3-year stay in the country, housing availability, and financial stability are required.
