The Immigration Office in Castellón

Residencia temporal por razones humanitarias, colaboración con autoridades, seguridad nacional o interés público is an authorisation, so it is decided at an Oficina de Extranjería under the Government Delegation — not at a police station. They are separate networks with separate appointment systems, and going to the wrong one is the most common wasted journey in Spanish immigration.

The ministry's page for Castellón does not name this procedure among the services it itemises for these offices. They are the province's Immigration Offices, which is where authorisations of this kind are decided, but ring ahead before travelling rather than relying on that.

    Before you travel to one of these

    Almost all of these offices work by appointment only, booked through the electronic office of the public administration. Turning up without one generally means being turned away, however short the queue looks. Office assignments also change, so if what is here does not match what you are told on the phone, believe the phone and tell us.
