As of June 30, 2026, 353,009 Ukrainians held valid residence permits in Spain, representing an 8.2% annual increase from June 2025. The Observatorio Permanente de la Inmigración (OPI) attributes this growth to temporary protection permits, which account for 76% of all authorizations. Women make up 58% of the population, with a significant majority in working-age groups. Labor market integration data shows 20% of Ukrainian residents with temporary protection are affiliated with Spain’s Social Security system. The top sectors for employment include hospitality, construction, and IT services. Madrid, Barcelona, and Alicante host the largest Ukrainian communities, collectively accounting for 43% of residents. The OPI report highlights ongoing demographic trends and economic participation of Ukrainian nationals in Spain.
