In response to the catastrophic flash floods that struck eastern Spain last October, leading to over 200 fatalities and widespread destruction, the Spanish government has approved one-year residency and work permits for up to 25,000 foreigners affected by the disaster. This initiative aims to help those rendered homeless and unable to fulfill legal residency requirements due to the chaos caused by the floods. Additionally, foreigners who lost relatives in the disaster will receive five-year residency permits. This move contrasts with tightening migration policies across Europe, as Spain acknowledges the crucial role of migrant workers in supporting its economy.
The October disaster destroyed homes and businesses, killed over 200, and led Spain to offer residents permits to help migrants affected by the floods.
The Spanish government's plan includes one-year residency permits for 25,000 foreigners, aiding those affected by the catastrophic October floods in Valencia.
