Modelo EX13

Form EX13 is a Spanish government form designed for non-EU residents in Spain who need to travel outside of Spain while their residency or stay documentation is being processed. It covers various situations, including renewal or extension of residency, initial residency awaiting the issuance of the Foreigner Identity Card, and replacement of lost or stolen residency cards. The form requires personal information, representative information, and details about the reason for the request.

Purpose: The purpose of Form EX13, Modelo EX13, is to apply for an authorization to return to Spain for individuals whose residency or stay permits are in the process of renewal, extension, or reissuance due to loss or theft. This form ensures that residents can leave and re-enter Spain without jeopardizing their legal status during these transitional periods.

Form EX13, or Modelo EX13, serves as a critical application for non-European Union residents in Spain who find themselves in a unique bureaucratic situation. Specifically, it caters to those whose residency or stay permits are under renewal, extension, or are awaiting the issuance of a new Foreigner Identity Card due to loss, theft, or other exceptional reasons. The form facilitates a legal mechanism allowing these individuals to leave Spain and return without losing their residency status, which is pivotal for maintaining continuous legal residency within the country.

To complete the EX13 form, applicants must provide comprehensive personal details, including passport or NIE numbers, full name, date and place of birth, nationality, and contact information in Spain. Additionally, if the application is being submitted through a representative, their information must also be included. The form also requires specifying the situation that justifies the need for a return authorization, such as residency renewal or card replacement, and detailing the motives for leaving Spain and the expected duration of stay abroad. This detailed approach ensures that the Spanish authorities have all necessary information to process the request efficiently, maintaining the legal status of foreign residents during their absence from Spain.
