Re: Spanish Passport Application nonEEA Spouse of Polish cit

It used to be 3 years of marriage but I think now is 5 years and you need to reside in Spain and apply for Spanish Nationality and then renounce to your South African citizenship. The best thing is to ask in the Spanish Consulate.

 

normally for the old eu citezens need 5 years to get a new eu citezenship (i dont know if its the same for the new eu country like poland, romania and so on) i hope so
so your wife must apply for spanish citezenship then when she got the new citezenship you can apply too ( it takes other 2-3 years)

or if you want, you can apply it directly but would take around 10 yrs. so i guess you'd better choose the first option
