The Spanish government announced the adoption of an exceptional royal decree to regularize the status of undocumented migrants residing in the country, as part of a major program aimed at giving half a million migrants the opportunity to live and work legally. <\/p>\n\n
Authorities explained that beneficiaries of the regularization will be able to start working<\/a> 15 days after their applications are approved by the relevant authorities, under specific conditions, including actual residence for at least five months before December 31, 2025, and a clean criminal record. <\/p>\n\n This step is part of the Spanish government\u2019s efforts to enhance migrant<\/a> integration into the labor market, especially in sectors experiencing labor shortages, while ensuring that society and the economy benefit from this initiative. <\/p>\n\n Officials noted that allowing work 15 days after application approval facilitates faster integration of migrants and eases pressure on social services, while granting temporary residence<\/a> permits that can be renewed. <\/p>\n\n Meanwhile, some opposition political factions expressed concerns about the impact of regularization on public resources, whereas civil organizations welcomed the move, viewing it as a historic opportunity to organize the status of undocumented migrants in Spain<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Spanish government announced the adoption of an exceptional royal decree to regularize the status of undocumented migrants residing in the country, as part of a major program aimed at giving half a million migrants the opportunity to live and work legally.
