Spain didn't have colonies but "virreinatos" which were kind of offshore self-governing Spanish territories. In fact, the 1812 Constitution consider The offshore territories as Spanish provinces with the same rights and duties as far as l am aware. The Philipines were ruled by the "Virreinato de Nueva España", currently México.

So, you are a Spanish historian and know the laws that ruled the offshore territories. Can you tell me in which year lsabel La Católica abolished slavery among the indians (properly speaking, Native Americans)? Can you tell me in which year the Spanish Constitution pass the law by which all offshore territories had the same rights and duties as Mainland Spain? Tip: it was before the invasion of the Napoleonic troops in Spain.

I’m also hoping to move to Spain and obtain Spanish citizenship one day. Spain and Argentina are unique in offering citizenship after just two years of residency. However, for former colonies or territories, this opportunity is available only through Spain. Other countries, even if you come from their former colonies, offer no special privilege regarding residency requirements-treating you just like anyone else when it comes to citizenship timing, if I’m not mistaken.

@@EverythingIsBoffo I came across an interesting point about Spanish territories versus colonies. Unlike the British and French, who referred to their overseas possessions as colonies and often exploited them for resources without extending full rights, Spain considered its overseas possessions as territories rather than colonies. This means that territories like Mexico, the Philippines, and Colombia were regarded as having the same rights as mainland Spain. The term "colony" was more fitting for the British and French, who often took resources from these regions without granting equal rights. Spain's overseas territories, on the other hand, were integrated more closely into the Spanish realm. This perspective might explain why Spain continues to recognize "jus sanguinis" (right of blood) citizenship laws, honoring the Spanish heritage of individuals from these former territories. Interestingly, there were already Filipinos, such as José Rizal, living in Barcelona, Spain before the end of Spanish rule in the Philippines. This view reflects how Spaniards traditionally regarded their overseas possessions not as colonies but as integral parts of their nation.

@@EverythingIsBoffo Exactly. I am not being apologetic on colonialism. The way Philippine History is taught in the motherland has always been Pro-America and Anti-Spain. And despite of singing the Pro-America narrative as a former colonial possession of the United States we do not see any form of recognition or benefit from that. Not that we demand for something in return. Spain, despite of her shortcomings in the distant past, has this preferential treatment that already speaks volumes. Somehow, it kindda reminds me now of the 3-part Juan Luna masterpiece in 1884, España y Filipinas displayed in Museo Nacional del Prado, National Gallery Singapore and the Lopez Museum..

It depends on what documents you will need to submit, if you are a dual citizen you will need to submit Birth Certificate & Federal/National Background check + Apostille + Translation for each nationality. Add those plus application fee, DELE and CCSE tests, DHL shipping, Spanish background check, and it's roughly 700-800 euros per applicant before the lawyer's professional fee for a single nationality (basing this on the costs of the paperwork for the Philippine official documents).
