If you’ve been in Spain for a while and are looking to regularize your situation, there are different types of arraigo (root-based residency) that can help you obtain legal residency. Each one has specific requirements, and our office will guide you in choosing the option that best fits your case.
What is social, employment-based, and training-based arraigo?
Arraigo is a legal pathway that allows foreign nationals in Spain to regularize their status by proving social, employment, or training ties to the country. There are different types—social, employment-based, and training-based—each with its own specific requirements and advantages depending on your personal situation.
1 - Social Arraigo (Residency on Social Grounds)
You may be eligible for residency if you have lived in Spain continuously for at least two years and can prove your own financial means or those of a direct family member. In addition, a social integration report issued by the local council is required. We will guide you through the entire process, from gathering documentation to submitting your application.
2- Employment-Based Arraigo (Sociolaboral)
If you have been in Spain for at least two years and have a work contract of at least 20 hours per week, you may qualify for employment-based arraigo. This procedure requires proof of your integration into the country and a real, ongoing employment relationship. We handle the review of your documents, verify your residence, and prepare a solid application on your behalf.
3 - Training-Based Arraigo (Socioformativo)
If you’re interested in studying and working at the same time, this could be the right path for you. Training-based arraigo allows you to regularize your status if you commit to completing a training program related to a specific job, which in turn allows you to work with a contract of up to 30 hours per week in that same field. We help you choose the right training, meet all requirements, and submit your application properly.
