The Spanish government has announced the regularization of over 609,000 migrants, allowing them to enter the formal labor market. This initiative forms part of a broader amnesty program targeting the approximately 1.17 million undocumented immigrants residing in Spain. Successful applicants receive temporary work permits while their applications for full legal status are processed. The application period ran from April 16th to June 30th, 2026, and focuses on integrating previously undocumented workers into the system. This move addresses labor shortages and provides migrants with legal protection and opportunities. The program aims to formalize a significant portion of the immigrant workforce currently operating in the shadow economy. This represents a substantial effort by Spain to manage migration through regularization.
