SKILL 04 · Immigration

Check readiness for permanent residence

Review whether a specific temporary-residence history can be assessed for Residencia Definitiva, and assemble an evidence-based preparation plan.

What you need

  • Temporary permission, subcategory, grant decision and effective dates
  • Travel history and available entry or exit records
  • Employment, income, contribution or family-dependency records relevant to the case
  • Identity, criminal-record and civil-status documents
  • Previous applications, fines, refusals or official requests, if any

What you can prepare

  • Residence-and-travel timeline with an evidence inventory
  • Readiness checklist marked DRAFT NOT SUBMITTED, with supported and unresolved eligibility conditions
  • Editable document index and targeted questions for SERMIG or a qualified adviser

FICTIONAL PRACTICE CASE

Try it before using real records.

Fictional case: Malik holds a temporary permission and has made several extended trips abroad. He asks whether he is ready for permanent residence. The skill assembles the permission and travel timeline, checks the current route-specific conditions and avoids deciding eligibility from the card's age alone.

Keep preparation and filing separate.

Documents produced are DRAFT — NOT SUBMITTED until reviewed and actually filed. The skill does not access accounts, submit applications, pay fees or represent you. Current official requirements and the actual notice must be checked for your case. English materials are not certified translations.
