Residency for EU Citizens
All EU and EEA (European Economic Area) citizens and their family members have the right to visit, live or work in Spain. A Spanish residency certificate confirms your status as a resident in Spain. For stays of up to 3 months there is no need to register or obtain any Spanish documentation unless you are going to be working, or for example buying a property, in which case you’ll need an NIE. After that period, or if you intend to stay more than 3 months, you must register as a resident.
The issue of the residency certificate ‘certificado de residencia‘, is controlled by the National Police, (Cuerpo Nacional de Policia). We can assist you in obtaining yours.
