Is your permit about to expire?
Renewal is requested within the two months before the expiry date, not earlier (art. 80.1 of Royal Decree 1155/2024, for employed work)
If it has already expired, you can still apply within the following three months, although you may be fined
If you need to leave Spain, apply for a return authorisation (autorización de regreso)
