DescriptionSpain’s emergency migrant regularization program, launched in the spring of 2026, ended with a staggering record: instead of the expected 500,000 applications, authorities received 1.2 million cases from undocumented residents. Now the Ministry of Migration is swamped with paperwork, and officials have exactly three months to verify that applicants have no criminal records and have resided in the country for at least five months. Experts note that due to a severe labor shortage in the economy, Pedro Sánchez’s government will try to legalize as many people as possible; however, bureaucracy and the process of weeding out fraudulent applications could slow down the process. The question is whether the agency will be able to officially approve and issue more than 550,000 residence permits throughout September.
ConditionsYes: if, according to the official statistical reports of the Spanish Ministry of Migration published between September 1 and 30, 2026, the total number of residence permits issued under the emergency legalization program exceeds 550,000.
No: if, according to the official statistics for September 2026, the number of approved cases is 550,000 or fewer.
