Limits of the record
  • Searched Orden Ministerial 01/2021 (de25ca674ec55328.txt) for any status reached through accumulated residence (permanent/long-term residence, years to status); the order only regularises and renews stay/residence documents within a three-month window.

What qualifying residence period is required and when does the period begin?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the qualifying residence period and when it begins.

Limits of the record
  • Not established: the correction failed a second independent check (CAIXA_ERRADA: Item f) (prior stay authorisation or visa extension) is an application document for the first residence card = R5 conditions/how obtained; it is not a qualifying residence period nor its start date (R2). The R5 value lists a)-e), g)-l) and omits f), so the material belongs there; R2 itself should be not_found.)

Which types of residence count fully, partially or not at all where the official rules specify this?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm which types of residence count towards the qualifying period.

See recorded sources
