It’s a race against time in Spain, where undocumented migrants have just hours left to apply for a special mass regularisation programme before the deadline expires.
East Africa News
More than one million applications have already been submitted, double what the government expected, as NGOs work around the clock to help migrants complete their paperwork.
Aid groups are urging people to apply even if documents are still missing, saying they may be given extra time to provide them later.
Many applicants from countries including Venezuela, Mali and Iran have struggled to obtain official documents, while technical problems have also slowed online registrations.
