What it is for

Applying for a temporary or permanent residence permit
Renewing an existing residence permit
Handling other situations covered by Form 1 (Modelo 1), such as family reunification

Example (fictitious). Daniel's permit expires in a few months and he wants to understand the form before starting the renewal.

What it is

This is AIMA's Form 1 (Modelo 1). It gathers identification details, passport, address and the type of application. It covers applications for and renewals of temporary or permanent residence permits, as well as other situations provided for in that form. The form itself is not the residence permit: it is the application, to be submitted with the applicable supporting documents. European Union citizens use a different form.

What you receive

You receive the official blank PDF form, with an explanation of what it is for. The Titus assistant answers your questions about filling it in. You can combine it with other documents in the same request, with a single payment. We do not ask for any password for forms.

Frequently asked questions

Is this form already my residence permit?

No. It is the application; the permit only exists if AIMA grants it.

I am a European Union citizen. Do I use this form?

As a rule, no: EU citizens and their family members have their own form, the residence card form.
