The extraordinary regularisation process introduced in 2026 has opened an opportunity for more than 1.17 million people to begin the process of regularising their immigration status. These are people who have spent years living, working and contributing to essential sectors of society, yet without being able to fully exercise their rights.
The deadline to submit applications ended on 30 June, but the journey towards genuine inclusion continues.
Over the past few months, thousands of migrants have found an open door in the social centres of the Jesuit Social Sector in Spain. Places where they can access reliable information, find answers to their questions, and go through this process with confidence, reassurance and hope.
From the settlements of El Hoyo and Atochares in Almería to Barcelona, the Canary Islands, Madrid and many other regions, we have worked together across our network to provide welcome, legal guidance and support, convinced that no one should have to walk this journey alone.
They are people who are already part of our neighbourhoods and communities, and for whom this regularisation means far more than an administrative procedure. It is an opportunity to access decent work, secure a rental contract, and build a future with rights and stability.
Made possible by the teams working across our social centres, this collective effort is reflected today in tangible results:
This work has also been made possible thanks to the commitment of 181 volunteers and the collaboration of 47 organisations across the regions of Andalusia, Aragon, Asturias, the Canary Islands, Castile and León, Catalonia, Madrid, Navarre, the Valencian Community, Extremadura, Galicia, the Basque Country and the Region of Murcia, all working together to support people throughout the entire process.
Behind every figure and every application is a person, a face and a story. Years of work, perseverance and belonging.
Through the REGULARISATION: ALL ARE WELCOME IN campaign, the Jesuit Social Apostolate continues to walk alongside people on the move. Regularisation does not end with the submission of an application. It marks the beginning of a new stage, and we will continue walking alongside people so that this opportunity becomes genuine and lasting inclusion.
WE WALK ALONGSIDE…
people at every stage of their journey, following up on their applications, supporting them through notifications and the remaining administrative procedures, answering questions and providing legal guidance in safe and welcoming spaces.
WE STAND UP FOR…
a society in which no one is forced to live in invisibility because of their immigration status. We advocate for migration and asylum policies that place human dignity at the centre, guarantee access to rights and provide legal certainty. At the same time, we foster a closer, better-informed and more humane understanding of migration.
WE PROMOTE INCLUSION…
by developing programmes that improve access to education and training, decent work, housing, and strong community and hospitality networks, enabling people to build stable futures and maintain a regular immigration status.
In a European context shaped by increasingly restrictive policies, such as the European Pact on Migration and Asylum and the proposed Return Regulation, we continue to believe in hospitality and hope. We believe in a welcome that goes beyond words and is reflected in real opportunities and a shared commitment to the people who are already part of our communities.
We choose welcome. Your support enables us to continue walking alongside people, defending their rights and creating opportunities for inclusion, so that regularisation becomes the beginning of lives built on rights and stability.
We believe that being a welcoming society is not only about what we say, but about what we do. Together, we aspire to build a truly welcoming society—one that recognises people, guarantees rights, and walks alongside them with closeness and justice.
You can be part of it too. Join us and support the campaign.
