Spain provides clarifications regarding reforms to regulations allowing third-country nationals to regularize their immigration status in Spain

The Spanish Secretary of State for Migrations recently issued official instructions to clarify aspects of the Foreigners Regulation (i.e., Royal Decree 1155/2024), which implements Organic Law 4/2000 regarding the ability of impacted third-country nationals to regularize their immigration status in Spain and become compliant with local Spanish immigration laws. These provisions went into effect on 20 May 2025. In November 2024, the Council of Ministers approved Royal Decree 1155/2024 of 19 November 2024, which implements Organic Law 4/2000 of 11 January 2025. This regulation introduced significant reforms aimed at aligning Spanish legislation with EU law and enhancing the rights of third-country nationals in Spain, including those who remained beyond their permitted period of stay, or otherwise failed to comply with the terms and conditions of their immigration status in Spain.
