How to answer an immigration document request in Spain

Check the notice, its deadline and every document requested.

A request for further information or documents (requerimiento) is not the same as a refusal. Identify what is missing, answer each point and retain proof of submission. A generic letter or a payment receipt will not replace the evidence requested.

You can send your request in English. We will confirm the language and arrangements for professional assistance before accepting an engagement.

Start with the full notice

Keep every page, the case number and proof of notification. Identify the authority, each requirement and the deadline. Under the general rule in Article 68 of Law 39/2015, missing application information is normally remedied within ten working days; special procedures may differ. Working days exclude Saturdays, Sundays and the applicable public holidays. Count from the legally relevant notification, not from when you first notice an email reminder.

Match each point to its evidence

Number your answer in the same order as the request. For each point, identify the document, issuer and date, and explain what it proves. Check legibility, all pages, name or passport differences, and any required legalisation, apostille or sworn translation. If a document was already submitted, identify its earlier filing so the authority can obtain it when the law permits.

If a document is not ready

Keep the real receipt showing that you requested it, explain what is missing and assess whether an extension is available. An extension must be requested and decided before the deadline; asking does not automatically grant more time. Article 68 allows up to five extra days in specified cases of special difficulty. Do not assume that every deadline or every request can be extended.

Submit and check the receipt

Use the officially accepted channel for the case, with valid signature or representation. Save the registry receipt, date, reference and list of attachments. An informal email or a message to the firm is not proof of filing with the authority. If the deadline has passed or the case has been closed, obtain advice promptly: further documents may not challenge the closure decision or reopen it automatically.

Useful questions

The email arrived today. Does my deadline start today?

Not necessarily. Check the legal notification and its receipt. Electronic notification can have effects even if an email reminder was missed. Preserve the notice and access history before calculating the deadline.

Check the notification and access dates

What should I send the firm first?

A short summary, the type of procedure, the notified deadline and whether the document is ready. The firm will indicate the private channel for the complete notice and personal documents.

Is an ordinary response already included in my existing engagement?

Check the written scope before paying again. We do not charge separately for work already included. A new application, a complex request, obtaining missing documents and an appeal require their own scope.
