What do I need to do?

When do I need to renew and how long is the validity period?

You can apply for renewal 60 days before permit expiry date, or within the three months following expiry date (applications made after expiry date may be penalised). In both cases the permit will be valid up to the date the corresponding resolution is made regarding your case.

You will be sent a letter from the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (Ministerio de Trabajo y Asuntos Sociales), notifying you of whether or not you meet requirements for renewal (as of application for renewal date), along with the EX01 application form. If you do not receive this notification you can obtain it via the following website: https://sedempr.gob.es/renova2008/

You must communicate any changes made to your address with a new Municipal Registry Certificate (Certificado de Empadronamiento) and the following form http://www.cograsova.es/extranjeros/modelos/cdomicilio.pdf. These documents must be submitted at any of the public registrar offices of the Central Government.

You must submit the following documents:

1. Photocopy of current passport
2. Residency and work permit that you wish to renew
3. Municipal Registry certificate (justificante de empadronamiento)

• Permit renewal will be granted for those applicants that can accredit payments made to social security for at least six months within a one-year period and show that they still are employed at the same company (by way of a current work contract), or a new contract showing their employment in the same labour activity in the same province and still registered with social security. Domestic workers must submit a letter signed by their employer certifying that the applicant is employed at their home, and which includes details on their work schedule and period employed.

• The above is in accordance with the New Royal Decree 1162/2009 dated 10 of July amending the Regulation of Organic Law 4/2000 dated 11 January, on rights and freedoms of immigrants in Spain and their social integration, approved by Royal Decree 2392/2004 dated 30 December. In this amendment two sections, 5 bis) and 5 ter), were added to Article 54 which read: “5 bis) Residency and work permits shall be renewed when the worker can prove that they are still employed and registered with Social Security for at least nine months out of a one-year period, or eighteen months out of a two-year period, in cases where their last employment was interrupted for reasons beyond their control and are currently looking for employment. 5 ter). Renewal shall also be granted when the applicant’s spouse meets financial requirements needed to support worker.”

• If the applicant has, as a worker registered with Social Security, only contributed to Social Security for a period of three months, they will be able to apply for renewal if: their employment was interrupted for reasons beyond their control (shown by way of a letter of dismissal), that they are actively seeking employment and that they are participating in employment insertion programmes (by way of a certificate of registration with the Spanish Public Unemployment Service).

• · Renewal will also be granted if worker is receiving: unemployment benefits or financial subsidies from the government or temporary disability benefits, their aim being labour or social insertion.

• To expedite application process, applicants must pay corresponding fees. Please see related information on the following website: https://sedempr.gob.es/info/es/procedimientos/tasas/tasa052.html

• Renewal of Residence and Work Permit is valid for two years, regardless of whether it is the first or second renewal.

• This refers to payment made to employee when their contract has ended and they have signed a letter or document that certifies the end of their relationship with their employer. Said letter or document also certifies that said employee has received all pertinent and final monetary benefits and entitlements from their employer.
• The employer must pay: all outstanding salaries pertaining to period of employment, any extraordinary payments or payments in lieu of vacation days not taken by employee. For those cases in which the contract is a Work-for-hire or short-term contract, the employer must pay employee the equivalent of 8 days' pay for every year employed.
• The employer can deduct from final severance pay any monies corresponding to unexplained absences of the employee.

Can I quit my job?

Yes, you can terminate your employment at any time. No reason need be given for said termination, however, this must be done so at least 15 days before your last day of work. If no notice is given, then the employer has the right to deduct monies from the final settlement for damages.

• If you terminate employment voluntarily you will not be entitled to unemployment benefits.
