Hello

 You have to be legally resident in Spain for 10years before you can apply for Spanish Citizenship.

Cheers

I have friends who have been going through the process for almost 4 years now; it is extremely laborious and slow and requires language proficiency and in depth knowledge of Spanish customs, legal requirements, and general knowledge, I understand Their final hurdle keeps being delayed at the moment, presumably due to obvious reasons of staffing, health situation etc.
