Spain’s government, led by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, has approved a program to legalize around 500,000 undocumented migrants, including Bangladeshis. The decision was made on Tuesday, with online applications opening on Thursday, April 16, and in-person submissions starting on April 20, continuing until June 30. The initiative allows eligible migrants who entered Spain before January 1, 2026, and can prove at least five months of residence, to apply for one-year residence and work permits.
Applicants must have no criminal record. Those granted temporary permits will become eligible to apply for permanent residency and broader work rights after one year. The program follows long-standing demands from Spanish civil society and rights organizations for regularization of undocumented residents.
According to the Spanish government, the measure aims to address labor shortages and enhance social security for irregular migrants. Experts have described the move as both migrant-friendly and humanitarian. The decision is expected to bring relief to many Bangladeshi migrants currently living in Spain without legal status.
