What is the difference between permanent residence and long-term residence in Spain?

The two are just called differently, and there is no difference in essence.

Explain in detail:

In June 2009, 165438+ 10, the foreigners' law was reformed and some articles were changed. The original so-called permanent residence was changed to long-term residence in order to adapt to the EU's long-term residence in 2003.

In Spain, foreigners who have resided legally for five consecutive years can obtain permanent residence valid for five years, and renew it every five years.

Five-year long-term residence, long-term residence or permanent residence is a popular name for Larga duracion by Spanish Chinese. This is a misunderstanding caused by ignorance of the big residence card.

In fact, the five-year family house is not a Larga duracion house, which is very different.

First of all, these two ways of housing replacement are different. At present, before the expiration of Largaduracion's residence, it is necessary to make an appointment for the replacement and delivery time after the expiration of the residence. With the approval of the police station at that time, the fingerprint can be directly pressed; Family residence needs to submit relevant materials to the receiving department of the immigration bureau, and often needs to submit proof of economic income and housing, which takes several months to approve.

Secondly, the entry and exit requirements of the two types of residence are completely different. When Larga duracion changes her residence, she can change her residence smoothly as long as she guarantees that the single exit time within five years does not exceed one year. Family residence belongs to the category of ordinary residence, and it is required that the time to leave the country within five years should not exceed 10 months, and the time to leave the country at one time should not exceed 6 months.

Application for permanent residence:

The conditions for applying for permanent residence are: living for 4 years and 2 months within 5 years, and the single departure time does not exceed 6 months;

Apply for naturalization:

Have legally lived in 10 years, lived for half a year every year, and passed the Spanish naturalization test.
