How to correctly refuse temporary protection in Spain

If you decide to give up temporary protection in Spain in order to obtain it in another country, you need to follow a specific procedure. In this guide, we will tell you what steps you need to take to ensure that your request is processed correctly.

Appeal to the Spanish Ministry of Internal Affairs

First of all, find the contact details of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) of Spain. This is an important step, since it is this body that deals with all issues related to temporary protection.

Preparing a letter

  • Formulate a letter detailing the reasons for your decision. This will help the Ministry of Internal Affairs employees understand your situation and make a decision faster.
  • Indicate all necessary personal data: from full name to passport number.
  • Attach to your letter copies of all documents that confirm your current status in Spain.

Sending a letter and confirmation

Once the letter is ready, send it by email to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Be sure to keep copies of all sent documents and confirmation of sending the letter. After submitting, make sure that you receive a response from the Ministry of Internal Affairs confirming that your request has been accepted for consideration.

Next actions

Once your refusal of temporary protection in Spain has been officially confirmed, you can begin the process of obtaining protection in another country. Before doing this, make sure that you have all the necessary documents for the new country.

Consultation with a lawyer

We strongly recommend that you consult with a lawyer who specializes in immigration issues. This will help you ensure that all steps have been completed correctly.
