Spain's National Police has issued internal reports warning of a potential influx of five million more migrants with 'legal' status by 2030, as a result of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's ongoing mass amnesty plans. The process, which will grant half a million illegal migrants work and residence permits, is projected to triple in scale, with beneficiaries potentially bringing in family members through Spain's family reunification laws. The reports also raise concerns about migrants falsely claiming to have lost their passports to obtain legal status.
Spain's National Police has reportedly warned authorities that the ongoing mass amnesty process, spearheaded by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, could lead to an influx of five million more migrants with 'legal' status by 2030.
The process, set to grant half a million illegal migrants work and residence permits, is projected to triple in scale, with beneficiaries potentially bringing in an average of four family members each through Spain's family reunification laws. This could result in an additional five million migrants in the country by the end of the decade, according to the police's internal reports.
The reports also highlight concerns about migrants falsely claiming to have lost their passports to obtain legal status, with thousands already doing so in 2026. This trend, coupled with the 'strong pull effect' of the amnesty plan, has attracted migrants from distant countries like Pakistan and Turkey, as well as those settled in the Balkans. Spanish police officers have expressed alarm over the potential for a 'business' to emerge, where migrants exchange money for family reunification papers
