Can I apply for the Family Arraigo?
In Spain, the family arraigo (“arraigo familiar” in Spanish) is a residence permit granted to foreigners who can prove that they have family ties with Spanish citizens or legal residents in the country.
In order to apply for the family arraigo, it is essential to justify the existence of these family ties and to fulfill one of the following conditions:

- Descendants under 21 years of age, or dependents over 21 years of age, of a Spanish citizen, or of their spouse or domestic partner.
