Examination of eligibility and issuance of the Spanish passport

The process of issuing a Spanish passport begins with the collection of the documents necessary for the application for a Spanish passport for the descendants of the Jews who were expelled from Spain. Documents such as family tree, Spanish family name and confirmation of contact with Spain should be prepared. We translate the documents into Spanish and send them on your behalf for review. We accompany you throughout the whole process of issuing a Spanish passport, from its inception to its completion.

Spanish legislation on the passport of the descendants of the Jews who were expelled from Spain

Spanish law allowing the receipt of a local passport to the descendants of the deportees from the fifteenth century has undergone several changes over the past few years. In November 2012, the Spanish Minister of Justice announced the amendment of the Citizenship Law and the granting of exemptions to Jewish descendants of those expelled from Spain who wishes to become citizens. However, the person who examined the matter in depth discovered that in order to receive citizenship he required two years of permanent residence in Spain. Now, the new amendment to the Citizenship Law abolished this requirement, and today it is possible to obtain Spanish citizenship without the need to relinquish existing Israeli citizenship.

In June 2015, the Spanish legislature ended the change in the Citizenship Law, and the new law came into effect for a period of three years. Therefore, it is important to emphasize that the window of opportunity to obtain a Spanish passport for the descendants of the Jews who were expelled from Spain is limited in time, and it is worthwhile to contact the campus pas company in order to start a process that will eventually enable us to receive the desired passport. A foreign passport offers many advantages such as entry to the European Union, the possibility of entering countries where Israelis are not allowed to travel, exemption from the need to issue a visa to the United States, the possibility to study and work in Spain and EU countries.
