900,000 Migrants Apply for Status Regularization in Spain Ahead of Deadline

Spain's government has received a record-breaking 900,000 applications from foreigners seeking to regularize their immigration status, with just two weeks left before the June 30 deadline. The Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security, and Migrations confirmed this figure, noting it surpasses the number of applications received in previous regularization processes.

As of mid-June, around 360,000 of these applications have been admitted for processing. Ministry officials are encouraging applicants to complete their submissions, echoing the sentiment of NGOs, migrant movements, and specialized lawyers who share the goal of ensuring "no one is left behind." This final phase of the process is being hailed by many as a significant milestone in immigration procedures.

However, concerns are emerging for individuals from certain countries, including Algeria, Cuba, Guinea Conakry, and Gambia. These applicants are reportedly struggling to obtain the essential criminal record certificate required for their applications. Should they fail to secure this document, they are advised to submit their application regardless and hope the government can obtain the certificate on their behalf through diplomatic channels.

The government aims to ensure all eligible individuals can complete the process, highlighting the importance of this regularization drive for both the migrants and the country. The large number of applications underscores the significant migratory flows into Spain and the government's efforts to manage them.
