Spain plans to provide residency permits to almost one million illegal migrants over the next three years, with an annual allocation of 300,000 people in 2025, 2026, and 2027, according to Immigration Minister Jose Luis Saiz. This decision aims to bolster the labor force as Spain faces a rapidly aging population and significant skill shortages. Unlike many other European countries pursuing stricter immigration policies, Spain’s government emphasizes openness and economic growth, while making procedures simpler for migrants seeking work and residence.
