Spain’s government discussed preparing a new asylum law and reforming the legislation on foreigners’ rights and integration. The draft distinguishes between an ordinary procedure and an accelerated international-protection procedure intended to be resolved within three months.
According to the source, this is a legislative preparation stage rather than an immediate change to the rules for all applicants. If enacted, the accelerated procedure could make the expected timetable for some international-protection cases more predictable, with a target resolution period of three months. Its practical effect is therefore limited at this stage because the reform is still being prepared. It is mainly worth monitoring for people considering an asylum or international-protection claim in Spain, rather than ordinary visa or residence applicants.
