Spain has a new program. Migrants without papers can apply. They get permission to work and live there. The time to apply ended on Tuesday. 1.3 million people applied. The government expected fewer people.
You must follow rules for the permission. You must live in Spain since the start of 2025. That is at least 5 months. You must not break the law. The police must write this in a paper. Many people come from Colombia or Morocco.
Pedro Sánchez is the head of the government. He says: Spain needs these people for work. Many companies would close without them. The government spends 505 million Euro for integration. Right parties in Spain do not like this program.
