I am a Filipina working here in Spain for 2 years and 5 months. I am interested on applying for my Spanish nationality, can anyone give me details on how to do it? Thank you so much!

You should go to the registro civil in your town and ask there. They have all the details.

Better still, is go to a gestoria specialised in doing that kind of application.

What I know from my personal experience - I’m British, and my wife is from New Zealand - she would have to be resident here for 10 years to qualify for Spanish nationality. As a British citizen I would also have to be resident here for 10 years to qualify. As the Philippines was once a Spanish colony there may well be different rules - as there are for many South American countries. I believe that if you are married to a Spaniard, you need just 12 months residency, or if you were born in Spain, but are not a national, there are special rules also (this is the case for a Canadian friend of mine).
