SPAIN RESIDENCE CONTINUITY

Check how your trips may affect your residence

Add the trips you took outside Spain. We’ll calculate your time abroad and flag possible issues for long-term residence or citizenship.

1. Add your trips outside Spain

Add each trip separately. Enter the date you left Spain and the date you returned.

2. Your legal residence in Spain

When did your qualifying legal residence in Spain begin?

Use the date that counts as legal residence for this calculation. Do not automatically use your arrival date, padrón date or TIE issue date.

Are you sure this is the correct start date?

If you are not sure which date counts, choose Not sure. We’ll mark the result for review instead of giving you a potentially incorrect answer.

3. Which residence goal do you want to check?

Choose what you want to check

Different residence goals use different continuity rules. Choose Check all three for a complete overview.
