Spain's mass regularisation draws over a million migrants into legal status

Spain's first large-scale regularisation since 2005 drew 1,174,978 applications from migrants seeking legal status; about 608,000 are in processing with provisional residency and work permits, and 159,097 have registered with Social Security, while roughly 11,000 have received final approval. The plan, backed by civil society and churches, aims to formalise work—especially in care—amid an ageing population, but critics say it exposes how many live without rights and that processing will take time and face systemic challenges.

Spain's wide-scale migrant regularisation attracts 1.17 million applications

Spain’s government says almost 1.175 million undocumented migrants applied for its mass regularisation scheme between mid‑April and June 30, with more than 600,000 already processed. Latin America accounted for about 67% of submissions (Colombia alone 25.9%), followed by Africa (22.9%), Morocco (13.3%), Venezuela (11.8%) and Peru (8.8%). Most applicants are under 45. If approved, they receive a work and residence permit valid in Spain, with authorities given three months to decide. The plan, backed by PM Pedro Sánchez to bolster labor‑intensive sectors, drew support from business groups but faced opposition from conservatives and far‑right opponents.
