RECOVERY OF CARD FOR PEOPLE WHO REQUESTED VOLUNTARY RETURN

The “voluntary return” of immigrants legally residing in Spain occurred largely throughout the crisis of the year 2008. In this situation, they were offered the possibility of returning to their country of origin and get their unemployment benefit as well as some other advantages. If you had a temporary card, you must request the initial card, comply with the requirements of that type of authorization that you are going to request and make it clear in your application that your no-return commitment period has expired, and prove it.

If you had a long-term card, you must request the recovery thus presenting a duplicate of the application form, the valid passport, the criminal record certificate issued by the authorities of the country of origin or of the country or countries in which you resided during the last five years, in which there should be no convictions for crimes provided for in the Spanish law, and medical certificate in order to prove that he does not suffer from any of the diseases susceptible to quarantine provided for in the International Health Regulations.

It is advisable to add an annex to the request explaining that your commitment period of non-return has ended with a copy of the documents about your return concession, delivery certificate of the TIE at the consulate, etc.

If you are a citizen who requested the voluntary return and you want to return to Spain, do not hesitate to contact us.
