Visas and permits
Recently, illegal immigration has become an issue in Spain, and it is being seriously addressed by the authorities. It is therefore extremely important that you follow the Spanish regulations on this subject.
Illegal immigration is a politically sensitive issue therefore efforts are being made to prevent unauthorised entry and to find and deport people living illegally in the country.
