Undocumented migrants living in Spain have welcomed a government decision to offer hundreds of thousands of people a way to stay in the country legally. “Mostly the undocumented people working here, who are used to being exploited, they could not find jobs, they are being documented. The window to apply for legal residency in Spain is short, from April and to the end of June. To make sure everyone gets their required criminal record certificates in time, the consulate is opening until 11pm and even on weekends. “I didn’t expect that this country was going to be so good, the weather, the people, the culture,” Dar said.
