Constitutional and Administrative Aspects of Foreigners’ Status in Spain

Abstract

Spain, like all of Europe, is struggling with a migration crisis in the 21st century. Although Spanish law regulates the legal and administrative situation of foreigners in quite detail, some of the norms no longer match the current geopolitical situation. The article mainly discusses the legal status of a foreigner through the prism of his fundamental rights contained in the Constitution and the Law on Foreigners, as well as problems related to the bureaucracy of the Spanish public administration system in the field of subjective rights of foreigners.
