Spain Citizenship for opposite-sex Union Registrada

Post by woodchuck » Mon Feb 27, 2012 12:40 am

Hello,

I am an American and my girlfriend is a Spanish citizen. We would like to move back to Spain and live there on a long term basis. However, we are not looking to get married at this time, so I have the following questions:

1. Is the Spanish "Union Registrada" available for opposite sex as well as for same-sex couples?

2. Once we are registered as opposite-sex couple, how long do I have to wait before I can apply to be a Spanish citizen? I read that for married couples, it is one year of continuous residency in Spain, but is this the same for opposite-sex registered partners as well?

Thanks,
