💨 Abstract

Spain's new Immigration Regulation, effective May 20, 2025, simplifies and accelerates procedures for foreigner regularization and reduces timelines for legal migration. The government aims to regularize 900,000 people over the next three years to meet labor market demands and demographic challenges. Key changes include extending employment search visas to one year, introducing five "arraigo" (rooting) pathways for regulation, and allowing self-employment for beneficiaries.
