The Government's sub-delegate in the province, Blanca Flores, emphasized the normality with which the entire procedure, driven by the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security, and Migrations, has been carried out. The applications from Cádiz represent 7.2% of the total submitted in the autonomous community of Andalusia, which amounted to 161,500 applications between April 16 and June 30.
Flores described the process's development period as "completely normal." The majority profile of applicants in Andalusia comes from Colombia or Morocco, predominantly men between 25 and 34 years old, with a significant role played by Foreigner Collaboration Entities.
The sub-delegate stressed the importance of this process for "giving opportunities to people who are already here," highlighting their contribution to key labor sectors such as the primary sector, care for the elderly, package delivery, hospitality, and construction. "Undoubtedly, it will be beneficial for the Spanish, Andalusian, and Cádiz economies," she stated.
Ministry data indicates that 37,095 prior appointments were assigned in Andalusia. In Huelva and Cádiz, the percentages of applications managed by Foreigner Collaboration Entities (RECEX) were 13.5% and 12%, respectively.
The majority of applicants in Andalusia are young people of working age: the 25 to 34 age group represents 32.9%, followed by the 35 to 44 age group (21.9%). 58.2% of applicants are men and 41.8% are women. By nationality, Colombia (23.8%), Morocco (20.3%), Venezuela (8.6%), and Senegal (7.7%) stand out.
Currently, personnel and resources are being reinforced to expedite the issuance of Foreigner Identity Cards (TIE), according to information provided by the Sub-delegation.
