Spain's deadline for migrant regularisation ends June 30

Spain's extraordinary regularisation process, which allows migrants who were present in the country before 1 January 2026 and have at least five months of continuous residence, closes on 30 June. Applicants must have no criminal record and must prove their stay with documents such as municipal registration, work contracts, or other evidence.

In the Alt Urgell region, local authorities are issuing around 250 vulnerability certificates to help migrants complete the application, with the aim of eventually benefiting up to 500 000 people. The Dominican community in Spain points out that Dominican nationals can obtain apostilled criminal‑record certificates quickly, speeding their applications. By 21 May, Spanish officials had received 549 596 requests, of which more than 91 000 had been admitted for processing through the UTEX telematic platform.
