Kumusta ka,

No you cannot claim a Spanish Citizenship. Noone can claim unless they have a permament and legal residence for a minimum of years.

If you have parents or grandparents you can claim spanish citizenship afher 1 year of legal residence in Spain.

However, as you are Filipino you would be to solicit for a citizenship after 2 years of legal residence. Filipinos and latinamericans enjoy that right.

Nope, you can't. You could if one of your parents/grandparents were spanish, but not with your great grandfather.

Hi Ilene,

I don't understand, cause I've been living in France since I was born, and I do have spanish nationality, just because my mother's spanish [/quote]

Ok I am no expert on this, but if you have a dual citizen ship you probably got it at birth at the Spanish Consulate in France if applying for it, if not you would only get the nationality of your father. The info I posted I found on the homepage of Spanish Ministry of Justice.

Yes, I'v got it since my birth, that must be why

I wasn't aware of that law

 

Polska,

I am not Pinoy, but I am married to a Pinay who should soon be able to join me in Spain.

As far as I understand you will need to obtain a residence in Spain and after 2 years living there you can apply for spanish citizenship. This is a right for filipinos, Iberoamericans, portuguese and people of Andorra. If you were married to a Spaniard I believe you can get it already after 1 year.

If you are married to a EU citizen and is already living in the UK, I suppose you have a UK residence and then there should be no need for a Visa. In case you need a visa it should not be any problem to get one from the Spanish Embassy in the UK.

My sister in law is pinay and lives in Denmark, and she does not need any visa to travel here.

Only thing needed for getting the residence here is that you or your husband get a job or perform some sort of activity in Spain. I.e. follow the guidelines of EU and the free right to movement and work

 

ok i need help too

here's my story everyone. and to anyone who has answers i would appreciate it.

my dad's grandparents are both spanish citizens. they went to the philippines for i dont know what reason. they had two daughters [one daughter is the mom of my dad]. their daughters became filipino becasue of the treaty of paris/parish? so if my dad claims citizenship cause his grandparents were spanish, in turn can i claim a citizenship?

thank you

 

my mom's grandfather is spanish

so given the fact that my great grandfather is indeed spanish. one of the spanish soldiers who killed Rizal (ouch!), so that means my mom can be get spanish citizenship right? So if in case she gets the citizenship, then her children can apply for the same right? hope someone can shed a light on this. I know there are other posts about this. But what I dont understand is that, you inherit your parents citizenship right? so if my mom is eligible for this citizenship and indeed got it. then her children can apply afterwards.

 

I have a fiancée in Spain

Hi everyone!

I'm a Filipino and I have a fiancée in Spain, a Filipina with a Spanish citizenship as well. We're planning to get married and live in Spain with her but I need a visa to marry her there.

Can I marry her anyway even if she's in Spain (and me here in Philippines) and then eventually get a visa to live with here there? Does anyone here knows how it works? How to get a visa? Is it possible in the first place?

I hope someone could help me here.


Thanx..
