How do I apply? What are the benefits of becoming a Spanish national?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many expats consider renouncing their nationality for that of the Spanish one, and <strong>since Brexit, it has become even more popular<\/strong> for British nationals. This includes Norman, and even though it was not an entirely easy decision, for personal reasons <strong>Norman decided to take the leap<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Norman has been living in Spain for almost 20 years working as an English teacher and <strong>being fully integrated into the Spanish system<\/strong>. For him, the idea of giving up British nationality wasn\u2019t a frightful one, unlike<strong> the thought of how to apply for Spanish citizenship without any support<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After contacting Pellicer &amp; Heredia\u2019s experts,<strong> the application didn\u2019t seem an impossible task<\/strong>. Norman was provided with a straight forward list of steps he had to follow personally, prior to Pellicer &amp; Heredia\u2019s team starting the application process in Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Norman admits that the requirements <strong>to apply for Spanish nationality can come across a lot more complex when trying to go through them by yourself<\/strong>. Time is a big factor, and it can take a lot more time without the help of a professional who knows what they are doing. With Pellicer &amp; Heredia on board, Norman was confident of his application and had someone there to clear any doubts and give advice along the entire process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the application was submitted, <strong>it took just four months to be approved! Norman couldn\u2019t quite believe it.<\/strong> He knows of people that have applied by themselves and well, they are still waiting to have a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides being very happy with his Spanish nationality, Norman also feels like a big weight has been lifted off his shoulders, as <strong>he no longer needs to fear the consequences Brexit may have for him<\/strong>. Are you thinking about applying for Spanish citizenship?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pellicer &amp; Heredia specialise in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pellicerheredia.com\/en\/Immigration-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Immigration &amp; International Law<\/a> and have many years of experience<\/strong>, giving you peace of mind your application will be dealt with great attention to detail and, most of all, personal attention, always seeking the best option for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Norman Smith\u2019s Story Whether to apply for Spanish nationality after 10 years of residency has always been a topic of question.
