Being a migrant in Europe/Spain/Catalunya/Barcelona can be challenging, especially considering it may put you in a complicated situation regarding your legal status. You may need to apply for asylum, or for other potential procedures to receive a work permit and/or a residency status.
In order to point you in the right direction, MigraCode has some volunteers who have basic to advanced legal knowledge, and they can give you useful information that you may not be able to find yourself on the internet or through public institutions. Some examples of what our volunteers can try to help you with:
Obtaining Arraigo Social
Support with the process of Pareja de Hecho
Support with asylum request procedures
Writing legal requests and/or appeals
Other support related to legal processes
Please note that offering legal support is very difficult since the migration systems in Europe are very complicated. Our volunteers will try to point you in the right direction, but keep in mind no-one knows all the answers.
To request help, simply . Depending on the waiting list, we will try to put you in touch with a volunteer through Slack, email or phone.
If you need more help after receiving advice from our volunteers, you probably need to get in touch with a private lawyer (if you didn't one assigned by the Spanish state). This can be hard and expensive, so we have collected some good options for you based on the experience of other students with these lawyers:

Eliselmo Altoe Weber (Lito) -
