Thread: USA citizen applying for residency card

Dear listed members,

I am a US citizen and will be traveling to Spain in Feb '09 as a tourist/visitor using my USA passport.

It is possible I may stay after the 90 day period allowed, once I have a confirmation of employment.

I understand I can apply at the National local Police Station for extended residency shortly after my arrival to Spain (perhaps one month into my visit).
I would seek the residency card so that I may stay and work in Spain for the remaining year.

Will I need to return to the US to obtain a visa before applying for this residency card?

Thank-you.

I just read some related posts that were very helpful.
Thank-you.
.... and thank you for the all-inclusive absolute spain forum.
