In light of this situation, on February 18, the General Directorate of Migration and Foreigners (DGME by its spanish acronym) announced the temporary simplification of document procedures for foreigners for a period of one year.
The General Directorate of Migration and Foreigners (DGME) has a backlog of 20,363 applications for the first-time issuance, renewal, or duplication of Foreigners’ Migration Identity Documents (Dimex) due to operational overload and staff shortages, the Directorate explained.
