Apply from Spain or from your home country.
3-year residency card
Apply from Spain (with a tourist visa) and receive a 3-year residence permit directly.
1-year entry visa option
Apply from your country (via Spanish consulate), enter Spain with a 1-year visa, and later modify it to a 3-year card.
More flexibility
Ideal whether you’re already in Europe or just planning your move.

Can I get Spanish citizenship just because of my surname?

The short answer: no. It is not possible to obtain Spanish nationality solely on the basis of your surname.

Nor is it true that there is an official list published by the government containing surnames that will facilitate Spanish nationality.

As we will see later in this article, there are different ways to obtain Spanish nationality, some of them thanks to your ancestors, but none of them allow you to obtain nationality solely on the basis of having a specific surname.

Furthermore, there have been no recent changes in the laws governing the different procedures for obtaining nationality, so there is nothing new that currently makes this procedure easier.

Why is “Spanish citizenship by surname” such a common belief?

The short answer: no. It is not possible to obtain Spanish nationality solely on the basis of your surname.

Who can actually get Spanish citizenship? (Real legal paths)

The short answer: no. It is not possible to obtain Spanish nationality solely on the basis of your surname.

  • Lorem ipsum, dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Culpa eaque perferendis vero
  • Sint amet maiores eos excepturi quas deleniti.
  • Voluptate quasi accusamus reiciendis velit asperiores amet ratione minus maxime! Impedit?
  • Sint amet maiores eos excepturi quas deleniti.

The short answer: no. It is not possible to obtain Spanish nationality solely on the basis of your surname.
