I’m Egyptian , my fiance work and live in Spain for several years , he has a right of permanent residence , we will get marry after 2 weeks , I’d like to live with him in Spain after marriage , what should i do to have a residence visa to spain? Must my future husband return to Spain and apply for an authorization of residence for family reunion reasons for me? or we can do this procedure   here in Spanish Embassy , i heard that this process is too long and so difficult especially for non EU citizens and it may be take 4 months , I hope you reply to my inquiries , i ‘ll be so grateful

Hi there,
I think you’ll want to take a look at the following topics:

http://www.spainexpat.com/spain/forum/viewthread/225/

and this one: http://www.spainexpat.com/spain/forum/viewthread/153/

Read through those and I think you’ll have a much better idea. Indeed it can take a long time so you have to be patient. There isn’t really any other option.
