Foreign residents: 15 days to submit residency applications via Social Security platform

The Resolution of April 15, 2026, publishes an agreement delegating the reception and recording of residency authorization applications to Social Security. Applications must now be submitted via the Social Security platform within 15 natural days from publication (art. 2).

In 2 key points

  1. Residence applications must be submitted to the Social Security platform (art. 2)
  2. Submission deadline: 15 natural days from publication (art. 2)

How it affects those involved

Foreign nationals and their legal representatives must submit their residence applications to the Social Security platform within 15 natural days. Migration authorities reduce administrative burden by delegating processes to Social Security. Advisors and managers must update their procedures to include the new submission channel and verify the submission deadline. Applicants with limited mobility or located in remote areas far from migration offices gain greater accessibility.
