"Hundreds of thousands of migrants could now be eligible for one-year residence and work permits, following the approval of a decree by the Cabinet on Tuesday. The Ministry of Migration estimates that as many as 750,000 applications could be received by June 30, which will test the administration's capacity to process such a high caseload."
"We spend all day checking the ministry's website to see if the forms we'll have to fill out have been posted, explains Monica Lopez, director general of CEAR, one of the leading organizations working with migrants. She says her team of lawyers is meticulously scrutinizing the decree, trying to decipher the fine print."
"This broad language raises some doubts for lawyers, because they still don't know if a bus pass, a medical report, or a proof of address will be considered valid documents."
In Spain, private lawyers and migrant organizations express concern over insufficient information regarding documents needed for a new regularization program for undocumented migrants. The government has announced that up to 750,000 migrants may apply for one-year residence and work permits. However, details about the application process and required documentation remain unclear. Advocates warn that the lack of information could hinder the organization of the process, which is seen as a significant milestone by the government. The final decree will be published soon, but application forms are still unavailable.
