Legal basis and things to bear in mind

  • Framework: RD 1155/2024 arts. 94 to 99 (temporary residence authorisation for family members of Spanish nationals). It is NOT an arraigo (exceptional residence route for settled migrants): the arraigo familiar of art. 125.1.e) and 127.e) only covers the parent or guardian of a minor who is a national of another EU, EEA or Switzerland State, and someone who provides support to a person with a disability of that same nationality. Verified against the consolidated BOE text (BOE-A-2024-24099).
  • It is the most favourable route: 5-year validity (art. 95.3), no prior residence, no integration report and no financial means from the applicant. It allows you to reside and work as an employee or self-employed across the whole territory, with no further procedure, and the national employment situation is not taken into account (art. 95.1).
  • Parent of a Spanish minor option (art. 94.1.f): it is enough to have the minor as a dependant and live with them, or to be up to date with your obligations towards them. The relationship must be established under Spanish law.
  • Spouse or partner option (art. 94.1.a, b and c): marriage, registered partnership and stable partnership are mutually incompatible. The stable partnership requires 12 months of continuous cohabitation, unless there are common descendants. No more than one spouse may be admitted.
  • Child of a Spanish national by origin option (art. 94.1.h): it covers children whose father or mother «are or had been Spanish by origin».
  • If your reference family member is an EU citizen and not Spanish, your route is the EU-community regime (RD 240/2007): see tarjeta_familiar_ciudadano_ue.
  • There are two further options under art. 94.1 that we do not cover in this form today: the family carer of a Spanish person in a situation of dependency (letter g) and other dependent family members (letter i).
  • Resolution deadline: 2 months, silencio NEGATIVO (deemed refusal by administrative silence) (art. 97). Renewal: 2 months before or 3 months after expiry (art. 95.4). Tasa 790-052 (12,76 €) + 790-012 (16,08 €) for the TIE after the grant.
