What does social roots mean in Immigration? Technically, it is called a residence permit for exceptional circumstances and involves obtaining residence in response to a series of particularities and requirements that advise that it makes sense to guarantee the permanence of foreign citizens in Spain.
Now, the continuous stay in Spain has been reduced to at least 2 years except for family members. In addition, all types of rootedness allow for work.
Furthermore, not only is continued permanence important, but they must prove that during this time their integration into Spanish society has taken place. He is also not within the period of commitment not to return to Spain.
Knowledge of the co-official language(s), knowledge of and respect for the legal system and social norms are basic for the applicant to be considered integrated, as well as not having a criminal record or not being a threat to public order.
Obviously, for this reason you must have no criminal and police record in Spain, which we at Extranjeros Aema help you to cancel, and in your previous country(ies) of residence, as well as to comply with the payment of the fee.. Depending on the way of demonstrating social integration, we will find ourselves in one or another type of rootedness as we will see below.
The social roots are still based on proving the family relationship with resident foreigner(s), no longer with a Spanish citizen, which has its own procedure, nor with a family member of an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen, as this would be a family root, in this sense see the page on residence of EU family members.
The new social and labor roots require the applicant to have an employment contract with the same guarantees and identical requirements as the initial residence and paid employment.
The new socio-training rooting replaces the old training rooting with the novelty that it is now possible for recognized courses to be of a blended learning nature, provided that remote or telematic study does not exceed 50% of the total number of teaching hours.
Undoubtedly, a great innovation with respect to the “arraigo” is the second opportunity that allows the applicant to access this situation when in the previous two years he/she has held another type of residence different from the “arraigo” but for any reason has not been able to renew it. For example, when he/she has no criminal record, either due to a negative sentence, acquittal or acquittal of the sentence.
It should not be forgotten that the assumptions of humanitarian reasons, collaboration with public authorities or reasons of national security or public interest also remain in force in temporary residences for exceptional circumstances that are sometimes erroneously and crudely equated to the concept of “arraigo”, which has its own particularities and is a type of temporary residence.
Once the fulfillment of the requirements has been verified, we will proceed with the presentation of the documents at the immigration office corresponding to the applicant’s address.
We help you in cases where additional information or documentation is required. This permit enables you to have a work authorization that with the renewal, if the employment relationship continues, will give rise to a temporary residence.
Regarding the resolution term, it is 3 months with negative silence. The validity of the residence card is one year and the employer and the foreigner must be registered with Social Security
