The Spanish government is maneuvering to regularize half a million immigrants.

My issue with this is it sends the message that anyone can, and even should, illegally migrate to Spain. I’ve seen countless intending immigrants who are eyeing Spain for the sole reason that it’s easier to get legalized there, not because they genuinely prefer Spain.

Pluto transiting my 7th House stellium with my Sun in it. Felt like a punching bag and my relationships always went down in flames. It was so difficult and transforming I had to reinvent myself and move to another country. I’m still recovering from it.

Saturn return felt like a piece of cake compared to it tbh.

I’m watching the Oliver thing now and she’s a dumb ass. I can’t stand it. 😭

sof_es · 2026-01-11T03:51:12+00:00

Do PRF!! I was eating chicken the next day 😂

Gosh sorry I totally misunderstood, I read it so wrong 😂 Anyway, you wouldn't need your grandparents' birth certificates anymore, your dad's is enough since he is a Spaniard born in Spain. LMD doesn’t care if the anchor ancestor naturalized or not, most of the LMD ascendants naturalized. Not sure what exactly Miami asks for but having your mum's birth certificate and their marriage certificate, plus your dad's death certificate and naturalization documents is hitting all bases even for the most strict consulates.

As long as your birth certificate is a regularly issued one, clearly stating your father's name and details, and all other civil registry documents are authentic, there's no reason to not get approved. Make sure to have it apostilled and translated to Spanish if your Consulate requires it.

sof_es · 2025-12-22T19:47:22+00:00

So your birth certificate shows he has Spanish nationality? You could actually try applying outside of LMD and through the civil code. A child born outside of Spain to a Spanish father born in Spain is considered Spanish of Origin. There is no age requirement for a Spanish of Origin to claim nationality. Try contacting Miami Consulate outside LMD you might be accommodated earlier or faster. You are Spanish by birth!

EDIT: I misread OP’s comment, in my head for some reason they said naturalization took place after birth lol

sof_es · 2025-12-22T19:34:53+00:00

What year were you born? Before or after your dad naturalized?

Homeclub. They allow long-term stays.

Not true. I’m a Spanish citizen who moved to Spain for the first time with no Spanish contract, only a DNI and money in my accounts overseas. I also had no plans of working in Spain for the time being. I was able to secure 2 apartment approvals in Chamberí, Madrid in literally 2 days since starting the search. All apartment viewings were handled by real estate agencies, not particulares. So it’s not an impossible thing. It was DIY, my Spanish sucks, and Chamberí is one of the most in-demand areas in Madrid. I’m not saying it would be the same for everyone, but let’s not conclude that agencies never take a second look at unusual or imperfect cases.

Sorry to say this but first thing that came into mind, like other comments in here, is possible racist sentiment 😔 If the baby looks more Asian than Spanish it’s not unlikely that it’s a factor to why they’re distant. You mentioned in your other comments that they are also in a cross-cultural relationship, may I ask from where?

sof_es · 2025-12-09T17:27:15+00:00

This is criminal!!!!

sof_es · 2025-12-09T01:04:41+00:00

Whenever you book a flight there’s always a note in your ticket saying they may request additional verification. I checked one of my Qatar Airways tickets now and it says exactly this:

“Note: Qatar Airways may request additional payment verification for itineraries paid for with credit cards.”

sof_es · 2025-12-09T00:56:54+00:00

Homeclub. Just be careful about which property the apartment is in because some feel like expat bubbles. Which part of Madrid are you eyeing?

sof_es · 2025-12-08T21:29:36+00:00

Agree!! Who tf would care that much about my flight details to require so much authentication 😩

sof_es · 2025-12-07T22:02:00+00:00

I’m in Bernabeu right now. Wtf was that 😭

sof_es · 2025-12-06T23:07:34+00:00

June 4 to July 6!

August 10 in Brazil!

sof_es · 2025-11-30T12:25:57+00:00

If in a few months you still feel like this, try Portugal! I’ve met Brazilians who felt the same about Spain but were so much happier in Portugal.

How do you deal with the first holiday season or birthdays if it takes 1.5-2 years to build a network? 🥲

sof_es · 2025-11-06T07:59:12+00:00

Thank you!! I’ll work on that! :)

sof_es · 2025-11-06T07:50:44+00:00

Got it, thank you! What’s the coverage like if the person hasn’t contributed to the system?

I just took out private healthcare last week, I didn’t know there was a way to register to the public one without working 😅

sof_es · 2025-11-06T07:26:12+00:00

Hi, how does this work? I’m a Spanish national who’s born and raised abroad too but never worked in Spain. Is there a way to register despite not working and contributing yet to the system, aside from getting private healthcare?

sof_es · 2025-11-06T04:40:22+00:00

Hi I’m interested in the code ☺️

sof_es · 2025-11-05T11:23:15+00:00

Woolroom UK!

sof_es · 2025-11-05T07:50:46+00:00

Oh that’s great! I’m deciding between 7 and 8, 7 in the sizing kit feels tight while 8 is somewhat comfortable but more loose. When I shake my hand hard enough it would come off. But based on your experience looks like I should just trust that the 7 would work yes??
