This law includes those foreigners who are victims of any of the offences established in articles 311 to 315, 511.1 and 512 of the Penal Code. Others include foreigners who are victims of offences involving acts of racism, antisemitism, or other forms of discrimination stipulated in article 22.4 of the Penal Code. Those who are victims of violent behavior crimes within the family unit, as long as it has been resolved by a judicial decision that terminated the proceedings, also apply.
Foreigners who have a serious illness or disease that requires specialized medical care that is not accessible in their country of origin may also apply for this temporary residence and work permit. This applies only to cases where the disease will pose as a threat to the individual´s health if the treatment is interrupted or is not received. A medical record issued by a corresponding health authority must be submitted as proof.
Finally, foreigners who can prove that their transfer back to the country from which they originated will endanger their security or that of their family may also apply for this temporary residence and work permit, as long as they fulfil all other requirements.
