Living in Algeciras: what to know about your procedures

Algeciras, gateway to the Strait and main town of the Campo de Gibraltar, belongs to the province of Cádiz, whose capital lies at the other end of the province. The competent Immigration Office is the one in Cádiz; if the official directory lists a closer site, you will see it in the office details below. The padrón is done at Algeciras town hall. With that distance, sorting out online whatever does not require your presence saves a whole day.

Because of its port and its closeness to Morocco, Algeciras has a long-established Moroccan community, as well as port and logistics workers. Renewals, family reunification, long-term residence and questions about leaving Spain and returning while the card is being renewed are all common.

Frequently asked questions about immigration in Algeciras

See all questions
I live in Algeciras. Do I have to go all the way to Cádiz?
It depends on the procedure and the plan. With “We file it for you”, when the procedure can be filed online, the application is registered over the internet. With “Do it yourself” you file in person, by appointment, at the Immigration Office site shown on your confirmation. Fingerprinting is separate, at the National Police by appointment.
My card is being renewed and I want to cross to Morocco. Can I travel?
With an expired card, the renewal receipt is not enough to re-enter. In that situation you request a return permit (autorización de regreso) from the National Police before travelling, by appointment, showing that the renewal has been filed. It is valid for a limited time, so plan your dates. If you leave without it, you may have trouble at the border on your way back.

No, and you do not need one. ResiLegal is an online service for the whole of Spain: the test, the documents, the signature, the payment and the tracking are done from the website or the app, and you talk to us by chat, WhatsApp, Telegram, phone or video call.
