What is the change? Spain is experiencing delays in resident permit processing, especially involving permits for highly skilled professionals and intracompany transfers.
What does the change mean? Foreign nationals should anticipate that processing in these categories will take longer than the 20 business days required by statute and should adjust their business schedules accordingly.
BAL Analysis: The delays are largely due to an influx of applications and reduced staff. Spanish employers should plan for longer timelines for resident permit applications. Businesses may need to adjust timelines or start dates because of the delays.
