EX-10 — Labor Roots Residence Permit (Arraigo Laboral)

The Arraigo Laboral was a Spanish temporary residence permit for undocumented foreigners who could prove at least two years of continuous residence and prior employment in Spain — typically six months at 30 hours/week or one year at 15 hours/week — without needing a current job offer.

Valid for one year and non-renewable as an arraigo, it granted full authorization to work as an employee or self-employed. Holders had to convert to a standard work permit before expiry to remain legal. Fees totalled EUR 54.36 (EUR 38.28 authorization + EUR 16.08 TIE card).

This visa is ideal for undocumented workers already in Spain's workforce seeking a one-year bridge to formal residency. Abolished May 20, 2025 under RD 1155/2024; replaced by Arraigo Sociolaboral.
