"my origial residency has been archived"

Archived?

What does that mean?

What does that mean?

Archivado means “archived”. Archivado does not mean that the application has been rejected, but only that the immigration office has decided not to continue with the case.

Archivado can occur for a variety of reasons, the most common being that the documents are incomplete. If the documents are not complete, the immigration office will not be able to review your case.

In the case of incomplete documents, the immigration office will send you a letter asking the applicant to submit additional documents. If the documents are not made up within a specified period of time (10 working days), the immigration office will consider you to have abandoned your case, which will result in your file being archived.

Are you hoping to resurrect an old application under the withdrawal agreement?

The usual failings for this are not having appropriate health cover for applications prior to 31st December 2020, or not being on the padron prior to 31st December 2020.

This may help...https://asociacionbabelia.org/en/applying-for-residency-in-spain-under-the-withdrawal-agreement-after-2020/

" Be covered by the Withdrawal Agreement means in practical terms that you fulfill one of the following conditions:

  • you met the residency criteria before the Transition Period ended on 31st December 2020 and you continued living in Spain afterwards, or,
  • you met the residency criteria after the Transition Period ended but you arrived in Spain before the 31st December 2020 and you met the criteria for residency within the first three months of your arrival to Spain, and that you continued living in Spain afterwards. For instance, in the case of healthcare coverage, if you arrived on the 15th of November 2020, you must have purchased the medical insurance before the 15th of February 2021..
  • you are a recently arrived first-degree family member of a UK national who falls under the Withdrawal Agreement; such as a minor child, a spouse, or an officially dependent parent or dependent adult child
Here is a simple test for you to get a general idea of whether you fall under the Withdrawal Agreement or not

"

  • Are you able to prove that you are registered at your town hall (Padrón) since before 31st December 2020?
  • Are you able to prove that you have a comprehensive healthcare cover with ‘no-copayment’ since before 31st December 2020? Note: An EHIC or a temporary public coverage (temporary ‘SIP card’ in Alicante, Valencia and Castellon) are not considered sufficient. The S1 form is sufficient as long as it has a starting date before 31st December 2020.
  • Are you able to prove that you have sufficient economic means or that you are/have been included as employed or self-emplyed in the Spanish Social Security System since before 31st December 2020?
  • Are you able to provide additional official documentation to the Immigration Office proving that you have been living in Spain regularly and continuously since before 31st December 2020? For instance:

The OP said his "original residency had been archived" not his application for it so some clarification is needed.

The OP hasn't been responded so we can assume they took the info and didn't say thank you or found the info the neede and didn't bother coming back online to check for responses
