Spain launches immigration amnesty as thousands scramble to secure legal status

Friday, 17 April 2026, 10:09 · 1 min read

Spain opened applications Thursday for a fast-track immigration amnesty that could grant legal status to hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants living and working in the country. Applicants must prove they arrived before January 1 and have resided in Spain for at least five months, with the window for applications closing on June 30. The move, championed by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez despite opposition from conservative parties, stands in stark contrast to the stricter immigration stances adopted across much of Europe and by the Trump administration in the United States.
