Question
Do you get a REGRESO on the same day as appointment, or do you have to wait for the paperwork?
Answers
These are the answers of Spainguru’s Facebook group members:
“You get it the same day as the cita.”
“Depends on where you go to get it.”
“I just received mine a week ago, and I got it the same day. Took about 15 minutes. This was in Malaga.”
Conclusion
The ability to obtain an Autorización de Regreso on the same day as the appointment appears to vary significantly by location within Spain.
While some contributors report same-day issuance in cities like Malaga, others suggest the process may depend on the specific office or city, such as Barcelona.
For those seeking clarity on the process in their area, local Facebook groups and community resources specific to their city, like Madrid or Barcelona, are recommended as valuable sources of current information and advice.
