What are the required documents besides Form EX10?

Depending on the type of authorization you wish to apply for, you must attach the documentation specified in the procedures to be followed for each of them.

We suggest that you consult the Immigration Portal of the Ministry of Inclusion, Migration and Social Security to check which documents you must attach along with your application form EX10.
