  • Reduced deadlines to encourage the hiring of foreigners in the country of origin.
  • Longer renewal period for Residence Cards (T.I.E.).
  • Facilities for foreigners to obtain self-employment permits.

  • Elimination of the previous 3-year period required to modify a student visa to a work permit.
  • Improvements in the requirements for family reunification are established.
  • Major changes in labor and social roots.
  • Facilities for family members of Spanish nationals to settle in Spain.
  • Creation of the new figure of "arraigo" for training purposes.
