Service

Long-Term Residence Card

The EU Long-Term Residence Permit gives you indefinite legal residency in Spain after 5 continuous years of legal residence. Unlike a standard TIE, there's no renewal every 1–2 years — and it also gives you the right to live and work in other EU member states.

Who it's for

Non-EU, 5+ years resident

Permit duration

Indefinite

Processing time

2 – 4 months

What's included

  • Verification of 5 years of continuous and legal residency (including padrón history and permit gaps)
  • Full document checklist: EX-11 form, financial means proof, social security, and health coverage
  • DUE (Unidad de Extranjería) appointment booking and application submission support
  • Biometric TIE Permanente card coordination at the national police station
  • Post-approval guidance on rights, EU mobility, and family benefits
We review every request personally. You'll hear from our team within one business day to discuss your situation — no commitment required.
