Spanish nationality takes years. Belong Spain keeps the count honest, from today to the day you can apply.
Answer a few questions and it shows your real distance: which route applies, what you have met and what still stands between you and the decision.
YOUR ROUTE, CLEARLY
The general ten year route, two years for nationals of Ibero-American countries, Andorra, the Philippines, Equatorial Guinea or Portugal and people of Sephardic origin, five for refugees and one year for the spouse of a Spanish citizen
Every requirement explained: legal and continuous residence, Spanish at A2, the CCSE and good civic conduct
Each rule sourced: Código Civil articles 21 to 23, Royal Decree 1155/2024 and the justice ministry, with the file decided by the DGSJFP
ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
Three widgets for the home screen and the Lock Screen: your residence time so far, your longest stay abroad against the three month guidance line, and whether today's five is done. The same numbers as the app, nothing leaves your iPhone
PLAN A TRIP BEFORE YOU BOOK
Add a trip dated ahead and see what the days away would do to your continuous residence, on a copy of the real rules. Nothing counts until it has happened. Spanish law fixes no day count, so a stay of three months or more is flagged as scrutiny, not turned into an invented deduction
TRAIN FOR THE CCSE
450 practice questions, filed under the Instituto Cervantes' own five tareas, so you study in the manual's own order. Tarea 2 is verdadero o falso, like the sitting
A full mock: 25 questions in 45 minutes, drawn tarea by tarea in the Institute's published proportions, and it says apto or no apto at 15 because it asked the whole paper
Five a day on a schedule that brings a question back just before you forget it, with a reminder that quotes one and opens the round. Chapter drills, a mistakes deck and a progress screen. In Spanish like the sitting, English study line a tap away
THE PASSPORT AT THE END
The real cover, with validity, the tasa, where to apply and dual nationality, checked with the Ministerio del Interior. Add your name and photo and it carries them, with a line saying when you could apply, at the earliest
WHAT'S COMING
The dates ahead, on your dashboard: your residence time completing, the day after a trip ends, another year behind you, a document expiring
Optional alerts, a handful a year, never noise. Every alert opens the screen it names. Projections say they are projections
YOUR DOCUMENTS, ON YOUR IPHONE
Attach the evidence for each requirement and note when it expires, so it joins What's coming a month ahead. Documents stay on this iPhone, encrypted by iOS while it is locked and kept out of your backup, never uploaded. A restored iPhone will not bring them back, so keep your own copy
WHAT YOU CONTROL, WHAT YOU DON'T
The years you build, the tests you pass and the record you keep are yours. The queue is not: the legal deadline is one year, past it silence counts as refusal, and many files take longer. Try a What if scenario, pass the CCSE, marry, spend months abroad, and watch your finish line move. Nothing saved
DUAL NATIONALITY
Spain limits it. You keep your original nationality only if you are from an Ibero-American country, Andorra, the Philippines, Equatorial Guinea, Portugal or France.
HONEST BY DESIGN
No fake finish dates. Belong Spain tells you what is in your hands, what is not and the next step. It is a tracker, not legal advice. Always verify with the justice ministry, your Registro Civil or a lawyer. Questions: hello@belongeurope.com
