Arraigo is a group of routes that let people who already live in Spain without a residence permit become legal residents, based on the ties they have built. The main routes are social ties, work, training and family, plus a second chance route for people who lost a previous permit.
Each route has its own conditions, and all of them depend on proving your time in Spain. The rules were reformed recently and offices can interpret evidence differently, so the choice of route and the quality of the file matter.
You regularise your status from inside Spain, without returning to your home country.

A general overview of the work a specialist usually takes on for this service.
Arraigo social is the route for people who have lived in Spain for a set period and built social ties, for example through community involvement or family. It leads to a residence permit.
The main ones cover social ties, work, training and family, plus a route for people who previously held a permit and lost it. A specialist checks which fits you.
Local registration records are the usual starting point, supported by other official documents. Gaps can cause refusals, so the evidence is reviewed carefully.
It is not mandatory, but arraigo files are evidence heavy and rules changed recently. On Expatronus you compare offers from immigration lawyers who handle arraigo before you choose.
