“It exists for all administrative procedures. In this case, it just doesn’t constitute a favorable default outcome.”

“Yes but it’s not an auto favorable for arraigo laboral. For NLV renewal it technically is auto favorable but they have some interesting work arounds for it.”

In conclusion, the concept of “silencio administrativo” does indeed exist for Spain’s arraigo laboral process, as it does for all administrative procedures. However, it’s important to note that in the case of arraigo laboral, “silencio administrativo” does not automatically result in a favorable outcome. While it may lead to an automatic favorable outcome in the context of non lucrative Spain visa (NLV) renewal, the Spain arraigo laboral process may involve additional considerations and workarounds.
