Arraigo Socio-Formativo (Study Arraigo) is a one-year Spanish residency permit for non-EU nationals who have been living in Spain without legal status for at least two years, allowing them to regularize their situation by enrolling in an official training course
Arraigo Segunda-Oportunidad (Second Chance) is a one-year Spanish residency permit for non-EU nationals who previously had legal status but lost it for administrative reasons (not due to public order, security, or health violations)
Arraigo Familiar (Family Roots) is one of the three main pathways within Spain's "Arraigo Social" permit, designed to help non-EU nationals regularize their status based on proven family ties with legal residents in Spain.
It is crucial to distinguish it from the standard Family Reunion process, which requires the family member in Spain to have a long-term residence permit first.
