SPAIN
The process to becoming a Spain, Spanish citizen
RESIDENCY
The main requirement for Spanish citizenship by residency is to have been living in Spain for two, five or ten years with Spanish residence. During this time, you must not have travelled abroad for long periods of time. This is usually defined as more than three months, so short holidays and work trips are allowed
The general rule says that any foreigner who has lived in Spain with her residence permit uninterruptedly during 10 years will get Spanish Citizenship by residence.
MARRIAGE
Nevertheless, there are certain exceptions or situations in which you can get nationality much faster:
If you are married to a Spanish national, you only need to be in Spain one year to get citizenship. This process is called citizenship by marriage, and you can learn about the requirements here. Only 2 years for those who are from Portugal, the Philipines, Andorra, any Latin American country, or from Equatorial Guinea. If you are a refugee, the required time is 5 years.
Understanding these timings is crucial, and you can’t miss a single day. Doing so may end up in your nationality application getting rejected.
*We will talk in more depth about the characteristics of those years in the requirements section so you understand what makes them valid.

SPANNISH LANGUAGE
Generally taken by any foreigner, unless she has studied high school in Spain.
Both tests are organized by the Instituto Cervantes.
In the latter case, we are talking about a multiple-choice test. The questions are chosen from a list of 300 questions published yearly by the Instituto. So the best way to pass it is to practice by doing all of them beforehand.

BEHAVIOUR
Proper Civic Behavior
Finally, the last factor that defines whether you will get your application approved or not is your behavior during the past years.
In order to prove that you register a civic behavior, the authorities will check your criminal background records and whether you have police records or not.
But there is something you should consider. A lack of criminal records does not always simply good civil behavior. And good civil behavior does not necessarily mean lacking criminal records.
So you can register police records but be granted citizenship either way, as long as that constitutes an isolated behavior.
And, conversely, if you for example belatedly renewed your residence card, you could be classified as someone with bad civil behavior.
Document, once they apply, the application will get rejected.
All foreign documents you include must be properly translated and legalized trough consular means.

Their response.
After that period, if you did not get an answer, you can then hire a lawyer to present an appeal. Why? Because you got a “denied” application due to negative administrative silence. And as there is no valid reason for that, you can demand them. As they can’t afford to go to court, they will hurry up and submit their (positive) response in 3-4 months. a
If you combine that with getting the appointment for the swearing process even before your resolution, you can get citizenship in just 18 months.

APPLICATION PROCESS
Application process
Finally, let’s study how you can get nationality by residence step by step. The application process is as follows.
As we have just mentioned, the best idea is to start the application online, and you can do it here.
Nevertheless, it is also admitted to submit your application on paper at the Civil Registry.
After one year (approximately), you will get a response, again online. The resolution defines if you were conceded citizenship or not.

PROCESS LENGTH
After receiving your favorable response, you will have a total of 6 months to finish the process with the oath of allegiance on the Civil Registry that corresponds to you according to your “empadronamiento”; or at the notary.
Bear in mind that you must get an appointment for that.

DOCUMENTS
During that day, you will get a specific document to go to the police office and request your Spanish passport and DNI. We also recommend you to apply for your “certificado de concordancia” on that same day.

FOLLOW UP
How to check if your application was accepted
Once you have submitted your application, you can check its status online through a platform created by the Ministry of Justice in Spain called “cómo va lo mío”.
ANY DENIALS
Reasons for denial
Finally, let’s see which are the most common reasons of denied citizenship applications. This is very important to consider, as it can help you prevent wasting time and money:
The most common reason is that the government finds that you have criminal background records, being criminal or judicial.
Another one is that you have exited Spain for too many times during your residency years, or that you were abroad for a too long period of time. This can lead to an understanding that you lost the desire to acquire Citizenship.
Finally, some denials occur because the applicant does not show any kind of legal activity in Spain (for example she has not studied/worked in the country). This makes it difficult to check her degree of integration with Spain.
LEGAL ASSISTANCE
Get legal assistance
Until here everything you need to know for a successful nationality by residency application.
Nevertheless, it is highly possible that you still have some doubts. Or that you directly need the help from specialized lawyers to finish the application (as we have seen, it will get done faster that way).
You just need to contact an immigration lawyer which will get in touch with you in less than 24 hours to start the process. The long-run residency in the Spanish territory is closer to you than what you may think!
