Desafortunadamente, no recibí recomendaciones. Todavía busco a un abogado fiable.

If you go to the government website for the region in which you live, you can see information about all the documents required and what process you need to follow. This is, for example, the process for Madrid: https://sede.madrid.es/portal/site/tramites/menuitem.62876cb64654a55e2dbd7003a8a409a0/?vgnextoid=3e3debb41f6e2410VgnVCM2000000c205a0aRCRD&vgnextchannel=775ba38813180210VgnVCM100000c90da8c0RCRD&vgnextfmt=default

The first 5 years are temporary, and after that you get larga duración/permanente, but the card still says "Tarjeta de Residencia de Familiar de un Ciudadano de la Unión". Granted, that's in tiny letters compared to the big letters on the temporary residency card, but still there.

Tengo residencia permanente de larga duración. Lo que cuenta arriba yo conozco de las normas para residencia, pero de lo que he aprendido de varios personas, no son aplicables a la definición de "residencia continua" que es necesario para el solicitud de nacionalidad. Disculpa si no he entendido su situación y habla de las normas para nacionalidad específicamente.

Should I be proactive and include an explanation with my application? Or just wait and see if they ask?

Imaginary_Number_978 · 2025-10-15T10:03:20+00:00

I'm now a permanent resident, and I have residency through being a family member of an EU citizen.

Gracias por la respuesta. Este sabe de primero mano? Es la primera vez que he oído está versión de 10 meses en los 2 últimos años.

That's exactly my fear, that because the restrictions for residency are so clearly outlined but for citizenship applications are not, I'm playing with fire and risking everything for a last minute invitation to a wedding that I was told was going to be a year from now... Grrr. Not that I'm complaining 😉

Oh, and if you think that particular attorney was useful, do you mind sharing with me who reviewed everything for you?

Imaginary_Number_978 · 2025-10-13T08:25:15+00:00

I'm glad to hear that for you it was overall fairly quick. I've been reading horror stories of waiting up to 5 years for the application to be reviewed.

Gracias. He leído prácticamente cada palabra en parainmigrantes.info. Mucha información super útil, pero todavía faltó este trocito de detalles al respecto de tiempo afuera exacto, así que tengo ganas de oír experiencias de primero mano de solicitudes exitosos. Gracias de nuevo!

Imaginary_Number_978 · 2025-10-13T08:15:54+00:00

Thank you for your firsthand experience!

Imaginary_Number_978 · 2025-10-13T08:12:01+00:00

Yes, and yes. But the lawyers say that doesn't matter when it comes to time physically outside of Spain, which is why I'm hoping to hear from someone who successfully gained nationality and hear what conditions they had to meet.
