RESIDENCE OF THE CHILD BORN IN SPAIN
Children born in Spain to a foreigner who is legally residing in Spain and the Union citizen regime does not apply to them, will automatically acquire the same residence authorization that either of their parents is the holder of. For these purposes, the father or the mother may request residence authorization for the child from the moment of the birth or from the moment one of the parents accesses the situation of legal residence.
RESIDENCE OF THE CHILD NOT BORN IN SPAIN
Minors not born in Spain, children of foreigners legally resident in our country to whom the Union citizen regime does not apply, or guardians of a Spanish citizen or institution or by a legally resident foreigner, may obtain authorization from residence when their continued stay in Spain for a minimum of two years is accredited and their parents or guardians meet the economic means and accommodation requirements required to exercise the right to family reunification.
