Got my residency approved finally!

That’s great news. Thanks for the info. Have you got a date yet for whatever is the next step? We applied on 23rd December but have been in UK since so wondering when we would need to be there for fingerprints or whatever comes next. We are trying to sell our house here in England before returning to Mojacar.

Congrats, us too. First appointment in Almeria 2nd December, just received the letter. Have you made an appointment for second appointment yet? Was wondering how long the waiting time was for that.

Hiya, well my next step, according to our lawyers is to go to Almeria for finger print and etc but don’t know when as they told me they’re making the appointment ASAP. I’ll be going on Monday to thei lawyers office to hand in my passport, padron and photos. I imagine I’ll hear about the date then. 

As for you, I think yours shouldn’t take too long now. My application went on the 15/12/2020 and they heard today. One week ago someone who applied on the 11, I think, heard the outcome. So it took another week to process a few days. Do you have lawyers or gestor doing that for you? If so speak to them as as soon as they hear your outcome you’ll be given a date to attend in Almeria. I personally think it should be better to come over sooner than later.

Good luck and keep in touch! I hope your house seeks soon! 

That's great news, and such a releif when it comes through! Congratulations

Sorry I didn’t quite understand your message. You said your appointment is or was 2nd December? 

I’ve just heard my residency was accepted and approved today. My lawyers are going to make an appointment ASAP and let me know Monday when I’ll pop in with my documents and photos.

Have you already been to Almeria for an appointment for finger print?

ENHORABUENA!! Fabulous news 😁

Dario, yes amazing isn’t it Thank you for message!

Hi Marcioca, Thanks for the reply, we have Salvador doing our application, they are very good. They told us just to wait and see but it’s good to get an idea of how long the process takes. Congratulations on your residency, hopefully we’ll be a couple of weeks behind you, all the best, Mac.

To all those here waiting on Almería to approve residency I would quote the late, great Douglas Adams ... Don’t Panic.

I’m not suggesting any of you are, but sitting in the country waiting, waiting, waiting can be a little nerve wracking.  Things can take time to happen here, but happen they do.  If all your paperwork was correct, all the stamps in the right place, all the pieces photocopied that needed to be ... you’ll be fine and you WILL get the good news in due course, so sit tight, try not to worry and await the day when you WILL get the blessed and long-awaited phone-call / email.  Spain has an almost unhealthy love of bureaucracy and that can slow things down as paper gets stamped, photocopied, stapled and then sent to another person who using that then has to generate another piece of paper to be stamped and photocopied (and stapled) and so on.

My best wishes to those still waiting - take a deep breath, it’s going to be fine. :-D
