Summary
The Spanish government is preparing to approve a special regularization program for around 500,000 undocumented migrants, with a royal decree expected to be adopted on April 14 without requiring parliamentary approval. The measure aims to grant legal status by easing standard immigration requirements.

Key conditions include proof of presence in Spain before the end of 2025, at least five months of residence prior to application, and no serious criminal record. A wide range of documents—such as municipal registration, medical records, rental contracts, and financial transactions—can be used as evidence of stay.

Notably, applicants will not need a prior employment contract, breaking the cycle in which migrants cannot regularize their status without a job but cannot obtain a job without legal status.
