Your first visa is the beginning, not the end. Whichever route you chose, we handle the renewals and stay with you until you hold long-term residency or a Spanish passport.
Renewals must be filed within the legal window, before or shortly after expiry. Delays can break the continuity of residence.
The conditions you qualified under must still be met: income, activity, insurance.
After five years of continuous legal residence you obtain long-term residency, no longer tied to your original route.
For Iranian nationals this usually means ten years of continuous legal residence, plus passing the DELE A2 language exam and the CCSE constitutional and cultural test.
Long periods outside Spain can affect renewals and how years are counted. Talk to us before extended travel.
Figures are based on official 2026 indices and change slightly each year. We calculate the exact amount for your case before you apply.
We contact you before your permit expires.
We gather fresh documents and file the application.
After five years, the long-term residency file.
You prepare for DELE and CCSE; we file the citizenship case.
Every case has its own list. After our first conversation we give you the exact checklist for yours.
The general rule is ten years of continuous legal residence. It is shorter for spouses of Spanish citizens and for refugees.
Spain accepts dual nationality only for a short list of countries, and Iran is not one of them; when naturalising you declare that you renounce your previous nationality. How Iranian law treats that is a separate question we go through with you before you decide.
There is a short grace period after expiry, but delays carry risk. That is why we track your deadlines for you.
Tell us about your income, family and plans; we will tell you honestly which route fits.
