The process of regularizing undocumented migrants in Spain placed unprecedented pressure on Moroccan consulates during the initial weeks. However, recent indicators suggest a gradual decline in the number of applications related to the regularization process.
The process of regularizing undocumented migrants in Spain has created a new reality for Moroccan consulates, which are now facing a surge of citizens in a short period of time. This has required the adoption of exceptional measures to ensure service continuity and prevent disruptions.

While supporters hail it as a step towards dignity and economic pragmatism, critics fear it may incentivize irregular migration and overburden public services.
