Yes, in Spain, foreigners can access certain financial aid for their children, although there are some requirements that must be met. Below, I mention some of the aid that may be available:
- Child benefit: This aid is intended for families with dependent children who have low incomes. To access this benefit, it is generally required that the applicant be registered in Spain and that the children also reside in the country.
- Education aid: There are scholarships and aid for the education of children, which can be requested by families, regardless of their nationality. These aids may include scholarships for meals, school supplies or aid for extracurricular activities.
- Social services aid: Autonomous communities and city councils usually offer social assistance programs that may include financial aid for families with children. It is advisable to consult with the social services in your area to find out about the available options.
- Residency requirements: In some cases, it may be necessary to have legal residence in Spain to access certain types of aid. It is important to check the specific requirements for each type of aid.
I recommend that you go to the social services office in your area or consult the website of the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration to obtain detailed and up-to-date information on the aid available and the necessary requirements.
