This Tuesday, the Spanish government issued the immigration law reforma decree that makes the procedures for granting work permits more flexible and that, as the main novelty, will allow undocumented immigrants with two years in Spain to regularize their situation if they are trained to fill jobs that are not in high demand.
In the press conference after the Council of Ministers, the Minister for Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, José Luis Escrivá, took the view that the reform will make it possible to tackle migration problems with better tools and “regular, orderly and safe”.
The ministry, which wants to promote the integration of immigrants into the labor market, assumes that the current procedures in many cases “slow and insufficient”which generates prolonged periods of irregularity and becomes a breeding ground for the shadow economy.
In order to facilitate the integration into the labor market of people who are in Spain, the figures on employment, social roots and family reunification, as well as family reunification are updated.
In addition, the “rooting for training” is being created, allowing immigrants who have been in Spain for two years and want to training in “particularly deficient” occupations that they can do this, creating a “gateway” to the job market, Escrivá explains.
They are given a provisional authorization for one year, renewable to another, to attend regulated employment training and can then apply for a two-year residence and work permit if they can provide a contract.
Together with this point, the regulations for promote the sustainability of foreign students in Spain: they can combine education and work as long as they do not work more than 30 hours a week and the restrictions they now have on entering the labor market after their studies are lifted.
According to Inclusion, there are currently some 50,000 non-EU students enrolled in Spain, including highly qualified profiles.
