In today’s post we will talk extensively about an issue that undoubtedly generates many doubts: political asylum and especially the red card in Spain.
We will see what exactly this card consists of, its legal application process, how to make an appointment to get it, and what rights and advantages this document offers to asylum seekers.
Are you ready to get your doubts solved?
The red card is the document granted to all those people coming from a region in conflict or who have suffered a natural disaster through which they are authorized to live in the Spanish territory.
Thus, the individual who is in a country that has suffered any of these adverse situations can come to Spain and apply for the residency due to humanitarian reasons, or be a refugee and request political asylum.
This is known as international protection.
Hence, the official name of the red card is the document that accredits the condition of the applicant in the middle of the process of international protection.
It is called a red card because it is printed on a cardboard of the same color.
However, the red card is not a card that is granted once the asylum is approved. It will be issued when the foreigner’s application for asylum is accepted for processing.
That is to say, and as a conclusion, it is the document that is given to those who apply for political asylum, and that allows them to reside in Spain while their application is being processed.
