Immigration offices for residence permits in Spain

Your province decides which immigration office handles your case

Each province has its own Oficina de Extranjería, and they do not all work alike: some push you to file online, some want you to phone before visiting and some take renewals through a public registry. Choose a city to see what the office handles, including study extensions for international students, and what to prepare.
