Now Belong Spain helps you practise the language.
Meet Saga. Say it out loud. She listens.
Saga is a seal pup in a red and yellow scarf. She is your speaking partner for Spanish on your road to nationality. Talk Spanish out loud, at your own level, whenever you like. After every call she tells you what went well, what to fix and which words to keep, in English or Spanish.
- Real conversations. Saga answers in her own voice, straight away.
- Everyday Spanish. The bakery, the doctor, the neighbours, at A2, B1 or B2.
- A debrief after every call. What went well, the better sentence for what to fix and your new words, explained in English or Spanish.
- She remembers you. Your topics, your level and what you found hard.
An add-on to Belong Spain on iPhone and Android, with 3 days free for new subscribers. Saga is an AI and can make mistakes. This is practice, not a test. Your voice is not stored.

The questions people ask first.
How long does it take to become Spanish?
Ten years of legal and continuous residence in Spain, immediately before you apply. Two years for nationals by origin of an Ibero-American country, Andorra, the Philippines, Equatorial Guinea or Portugal, five for recognised refugees and one year in some cases, such as being born in Spain or having been married to a Spanish citizen for a year.
Do I need long-term residence to apply?
No. Nationality asks for legal residence, continuous and immediately before you apply. Long-term residence, open after five years, is a separate status that nationality does not require.
Is there a Spanish nationality test?
Yes, two. The CCSE on the Constitution and Spanish society: 25 questions in 45 minutes, with 15 correct to pass. And the DELE A2 in Spanish, unless you are a national of a country where Spanish is an official language.
What language level do I need?
Spanish at A2, shown by the DELE A2 or a higher DELE. Nationals of countries where Spanish is an official language are exempt, and so is anyone who completed compulsory secondary education (ESO) in Spain.
How long can I stay abroad?
Spanish law sets no fixed number of days. Your residence has to be continuous, and a long or repeated absence can be judged to break it, so keep trips short and keep proof that you live here.
Can I keep my current nationality?
Only in some cases. You declare that you give up your previous nationality, unless you are a national of an Ibero-American country, Andorra, the Philippines, Equatorial Guinea, Portugal or France.
I am married to a Spanish citizen. Is it faster?
Yes. One year of legal residence in Spain is enough if you have been married for a year when you apply and are not separated. The CCSE and the DELE A2 still apply.
How long does the decision take?
The law gives the Ministerio de Justicia one year from the day your application arrives. If there is no answer by then, the silence counts as a refusal, which you can challenge in court.
From the Código Civil on boe.es, the Ministerio de Justicia and the Instituto Cervantes. Not legal advice: the Ministerio de Justicia decides your case.
