 Dear SMae_5385

Foreigners who have resided legally and continuously in Spanish territory for five years will have the right to obtain a long-term residence permit

The continuity referred to in the previous section will not be affected by absences from Spanish territory for up to six continuous months, provided that the sum of these does not exceed the total of ten months within the five years 

Best regards,
