Step 1: Gather all the required documents
The first thing you will need to do is to prepare all the necessary documentation to submit your residency application, as you will need to include all of it in order to make an appointment.
So, this first step includes thoroughly understanding all the requirements of the particular permit you are applying for, and gathering that documentation.
Step 2: Scan all the documents
Once you have all the documentation ready, you will need to scan it in pdf format.
In addition, you will need to download and fill in this application form, which you will also need to scan once it is duly completed.
Step 3: Submit all your documents via email
Next, you will have to send all these documents that you have scanned to the email address [email protected].
In this email, you must include as an attachment the documents and the form you have filled in, and you cannot do it using shared files (either Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.).
That is, the documents themselves must be included in the same email.
These documents can occupy, at most, 20Mb.
If they are larger than this, you can separate them into different emails, which you must send one after the other, and indicate their numbering in the subject line (email 1, email 2, etc.).
Step 4: Get your appointment confirmed
Once you have sent the mail, the Immigration Office in Madrid will receive your application and, if you have ALL the documentation, as well as the application form that we have attached above, they will assign you an appointment (day and time).
You will be notified of the appointment date by email and by SMS notification.
Please note that if you have to submit several applications, you will have to request an appointment for each of them (following all the steps we have seen above in full for each application).
