Spain Oulang.com recently released an article entitled "The Great Advantages of Children Born in Spain - Nationality Application", which was explained by 86 to the relevant matters related to the child's application for nationality in Spain. The following is an excerpt from the article:

In the last issue, we introduced to you some of the procedures that need to be done after the birth of a child in Spain, and in this issue, we will introduce you to one of the great advantages of a child born in Spain - the application for citizenship. Once you have residency in Spain, you will meet the basic requirements for applying for Spanish citizenship after staying in Spain for one year, which is also the biggest advantage of being born in Spain.

According to the provisions of the Spanish Nationality Act, all foreigners born in Spain (up to 14 years old) are only required to have resided legally in Spain for one year. Note that it is legal residence, that is, it is required that the child starts to calculate the valid time after obtaining the residence, and it can be one year. If you are not a Chinese born in Spain, you need to have lived legally in Spain for ten years before you can apply.

With the change of international policy for joining Spain, there are now test requirements for naturalization, which is even more difficult for Chinese with language difficulties. However, it is much more convenient for children born in Spain, and after one year of residence, parents can apply for citizenship for their children without having to take a nationality test. Then let's take Madrid as an example to talk about the basic materials that need to be prepared in the early stage:

The first is the application** along with a copy of the child's residence passport.

In addition, the parents' residence permit and the family's certificate of residence (note that it is only valid for three months).

Finally, there is the child's birth certificate, which is not only required from the Spanish Civil Administration (if you apply at the Civil Affairs Department in the child's place of birth, it is also valid for three months). In addition, the Chinese consulate is also required to issue a document stating that although the child is of Chinese nationality, there is no certificate of birth in China, and it needs to be certified by Spain.

After all the materials are ready, they should be submitted to the Registro Civil in Madrid, and it should be reminded that for the child to apply for Spanish nationality, both parents need to be present at the same time to apply for the Autorización Judicial. If one of the parents is unable to attend in person, the corresponding notarization authorization is also required.

After submitting the application, the fee for the citizenship application is paid according to the appointment time, and then the Civil Affairs Bureau will start the entire nationality application process.

The period for applying for citizenship is long, and for children born in Spain, the whole cycle is between one and three years, so it is recommended that you start preparing in advance.

Llinks Law Offices' tip: The appointment time for the first permanent residence application in Madrid is mid-January 2017, the appointment time for delivery of rooted residence is until the end of December 2016, the appointment time for newborn residence is mid-December 2016, the appointment time for family reunion is until mid-December 2016, the appointment time for return permit is until early November 2016, the appointment time is for fingerprint time until the end of November 2016, and the appointment time for replacement of ordinary residence is until early November 2016.

Requirements for Spanish Citizenship:

1. Have legally resided in Spain for 10 years;

2. Legally residing in Spain for 1 year + marrying a Spaniard;

3. Children born in Spain legally hold a residence permit for 1 year and can directly apply for Spanish nationality.

If you have worked in Spain for more than 5 years and are EU nationals at the same time, you can apply for a second Spanish nationality.

Some benefits such as medical care, education, and pension can be enjoyed even if you do not have Spanish nationality. Joining Spanish nationality means that you can participate in the election, and there seems to be no other benefit, so Chinese overseas Chinese in Spain are generally reluctant to become Spanish citizens. So as not to return to China and ask for a visa.

Another advantage is that the ID card for Spanish nationality is renewed every 10 years, and the permanent residence of foreigners is renewed every 5 years.

Foreigners who have lived in Spain for two years and give birth to a child** will receive a subsidy of 2,000 euros and 100 euros per month for milk powder. This has nothing to do with whether or not Canada is a Spanish citizen.
