Residency help, please!

9 years ago
Hi Expats!

Please can someone assist with the following queries. I'd really appreciate assistance.

I am a UK citizen currently in Spain with my non-EU spouse. Fortunately, I have managed to secure both accommodation and employment within this month of moving.

My spouse is here with me on a Schengen visa (of EU spouse).

My questions are:

- What is required for my spouse to acquire residency in Spain? I'm assuming it's dependent on me being employed, us living together and both having NIE numbers.

- What specific residency is issued to non-EU nationals; is it an Article 10 residence card or residence card for family members of an EEA citizen'?

- When should residency be applied for? We are currently 1 month out of the 3 months for the Schengen given.

- What is the validity of such a residency; is it 5 years?

I'd really appreciate assistance from someone who has followed this route.

Thank you in advance! :)
