REGULARISATION
Spain to regularise Ukrainians living irregularly in the country
The Spanish government announced a blanket regularisation of Ukrainian nationals living irregularly in Spain before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This regularisation will be a national extension of the application of the EU Temporary Protection Directive, under which Ukrainians already living in Spain will be able to have temporary status on the same terms as Ukrainians arriving in Spain after the outbreak of the war. Spain is also extending the scope of the Temporary Protection Directive to non-Ukrainians who are fleeing Ukraine and were living there regularly, regardless of the duration of their residence permit.
