Applyling for Spanish Nationality
| The Comments |
I've evidently given the impression I'm going to be applying for Australian nationality, imminently. That's not the case, I've never even visited the place, my apologies for that. I haven't ruled it out, but for the forseable future I'm here with my mortgage.
I was just curious if any British ex-pats had applied for Spanish nationality, and, if they had, why they had.
Clearly none have, because the few benefits make it pointless.
Sorry again!

Don't mean to hijack this thread but I also had a question about Spanish nationality. I will be finishing my residency period and can apply for nationality soon. I hear it is a 1.5-2 year process.
My problem is that I have to leave Spain for the next two years for school. I can easily fly back to Spain whenever necessary, but does anybody know if I ABSOLUTELY have to be in Spain during the whole time AFTER I submit my application? I've heard rumors that there are police checks to the home to verify residency. As I said earlier, if the visits are scheduled, I can fly back whenever necessary for visits to the different government offices and/or interviews/police checks, but I can't be there all the time for any unscheduled/random visits.
Has anyone gone through the application process and knows how it works? I would hate to give up all those years I've proven residency and have to restart all over once I return to Spain but I really do have to leave Spain for a few years to go back to school and can't do anything about that.
Any advice/help on this issue is much appreciated!

How long does it take to get Spanish nationality ?
Firstly most people need to be resident in Spain for ten years before they can apply.
Citizens of former Spanish colonies can apply after two years.
My wife applied almost three years ago and is still waiting and we can get no indication how much longer it might take.

I just checked the online web page and there has been a development in my wife's application. Tomorrow we will check it out. (three years since we started application)

For those who are interested:-
I took the print out of the web page for an interpretation, to the head of the Documentation Section at my local National Police Station, to the post office (in case there was a letter for me which I had not been notified of) and to a friend who is a senior Spanish civil servant. Each had a different view about what the info might mean.
My friend called the office dealing with the application for clarification and they said the papers ' were in progress.'
So we are now just waiting to see what will happen next.
