Key Points: Reentry permits are issued to foreign nationals who are in the process of renewing their residence permits and meet the applicable requirements. Reentry is authorized through land or sea border posts until Sept. 30, 2024, provided that individuals possess a valid passport or travel document, a copy of their expired residence permit and a completed residence permit renewal application. Air travelers are advised to obtain a reentry permit to avoid airlines refusing their transport into Spain if they do not possess a valid residence permit. Background: The General Department on Immigration Affairs and Borders has provided these reminders due to an expected increase in reentry permit applications during the summer holiday season. The reentry permit is a valid document for crossing the border through Spanish border posts and is issued to authorize the departure and subsequent return of a foreign national who has a residence or stay permit that is currently in the process of being renewed.
