Press release

The Government of the Republic of The Gambia wishes to inform all qualified Gambian nationals residing in the Kingdom of Spain about the Spanish Government’s newly announced amnesty programme, which aims to regularise the status of approximately 500,000 undocumented migrants currently living in Spain.

This initiative presents an important opportunity for eligible Gambians to legalise their stay, access lawful employment, and fully integrate into Spanish society. In this regard, the Government of The Gambia assures all concerned Gambian nationals that it stands ready to provide the necessary documentation and consular support required to facilitate their regularisation and integration process in Spain.

The Government further calls on all Gambians, wherever they may be, to continue to remain law-abiding, respect the laws of their host countries, and serve as good ambassadors of The Gambia. Gambians are also encouraged to continue contributing positively to national development both at home and in the diaspora.

The Government of The Gambia takes this opportunity to express its sincere appreciation to the Government of the Kingdom of Spain for this forward-looking initiative, which represents a true win-win outcome for migrants, host communities, and countries of origin alike.
