Spanish Citizenship by Descent

Spanish citizenship by descent is a process that allows individuals to acquire Spanish nationality based on their ancestral roots. The majority of applicants are from Latin American countries. The process involves gathering documentation and submitting an application to the Spanish authorities. With a Spanish citizenship by descent, individuals can enjoy the benefits of EU citizenship, including free movement rights in EU and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries, and the right to vote in elections to the European Parliament for the Spain constituency. The Spanish government has introduced measures to simplify the process, such as the creation of a dedicated online platform for applications.
