Living in Alcalá de Henares: what to know about your procedures

Alcalá de Henares, in the east of the Community of Madrid, is a university city and the main town of the Henares corridor. It has no Immigration Office of its own: its residents' files are decided by the one in Madrid. The padrón is done at Alcalá town hall. Going to the capital means crossing half the corridor by train or road; by preparing the procedure online you keep that trip for what really requires it.

Alcalá is home to a very large Romanian community, neighbours from Latin America and international students at its university. That is why the EU citizen registration certificate, the stay for studies and what comes after it, arraigo, renewals and nationality are all common.

Frequently asked questions about immigration in Alcalá de Henares

See all questions
I live in Alcalá de Henares. Do I have to go to Madrid city?
It depends on the procedure. If it can be filed online and you choose “We file it for you”, we register it over the internet. With “Do it yourself” you file in person, by appointment, at the site of the Immigration Office of Madrid shown on the confirmation. The padrón is done in Alcalá and fingerprints for the card at the National Police, by appointment.
I am finishing my studies in Alcalá. Can I stay in Spain?
There are routes for that. Someone who completes higher education can apply for a permit to look for work or start a business, and someone who already has an offer that meets the requirements can apply to change to a residence and work permit. In both cases you must apply before your stay for studies expires, so do not leave it to the end. The test shows you which one fits.
