Statute overview

About this statute

This provision rewrites many rules on foreigners in Spain, including who counts as a foreigner, what rights they have, entry and residence conditions, work authorization, family reunification, and sanctions. Se fijan plazos de tres meses para resolver y notificar solicitudes de permisos, y se prevé la constitución de subcomisiones de cooperación sobre trabajo y residencia de extranjeros. This provision reorganizes parts of Spain’s Organic Law 4/2000 by renaming and redefining titles, chapters, and articles. This law reform states that foreign nationals in Spain have defined rights and duties, while also setting entry, residence, work, and sanction rules. The Ministries of Justice and the Interior must take necessary measures so the Technical Commission examines needed changes to the Penal Code’s provisions on illegal trafficking of persons, especially where for-profit organizations facilitate that trafficking.
