    Hi

    I am a non EU citizen married to a Spanish EU citizen. I am currently in Spain on a Schengen visa, trying to obtain a Libro de Familia, which is a Spanish marraige certificate. The problem is that we got married in th United Kingdom, and the Spanish Registo Civil does not accept the English marraige certificate.

    To apply for the Familia Regroupa Visa, I need a Libro de Familia, which takes 9 months if you apply in Spain.... I could apply for the Libro de Familia in the UK, through the Spanish Consulate, but then have to stay there until I have applied and received the Libro de Familia, and then apply for the Familia Regroupa, so that I can move to Spain, and then apply for the recidence and jobseeker´s visas.

    Basially what I am asking is : has anybody had to apply for a Libro de Familia in Spain ? Did it take 9 months ? Can I only do this in Madrid, or any Registo Civil office in Spain?

    If yuo have any tips on this issue, please could you share you experience, as I can´t wait 9 months before I can live in Spain, It all seems a bit absurd ?

    Thank you
    Tanja

    You have already several discussions about marrying a EU citizen and the immigration rules applying in Europe. You can use the search functionality on the forum.
