Applying for asylum in Spain

Who can be an asylum seeker in Spain? The Law regulating the Right of Asylum and Subsidiary Protection provides the answer to this question:

• They can apply for asylum: NON-EU nationals or stateless persons who are recognized as refugees. So, ANYONE (except those who have European nationality), can apply for asylum in Spain.
• In order to be granted, you must demonstrate that, due to FOUND Fears of, race, religion, nationality, political opinions, membership of a particular social group, gender or sexual orientationyou are outside the country of your nationality and are unable or, BECAUSE of such fears, DO NOT want to avail yourself of the PROTECTION OF SUCH COUNTRY.

So, we see that there are no limitations to ASK for asylum. Now, do you meet the conditions to be granted asylum? Do you know what to do in case you get a negative answer?

Evaluate your alternatives prior to an asylum application and afterwards in case of an unfavorable decision, so you will know what to do in each of the scenarios.
