It decides everything that happens after arrival: the extension of a stay, the renewal of a transient visa, the change to Resident status, the foreigner's identity card and the migration record. Its extranjería pages are the only published statement of what an in-country renewal requires, and they are quoted here for the renewal conditions that no instrument states.
The body that applies the rule and decides applications. It publishes what it requires, which is authoritative about its own practice but is not the text of the law.

It applies the rules and does not make them, and its pages add conditions the instrument does not contain. Its extranjería page is a JavaScript accordion: the capture separates headings from their lists and at least one heading is paired with the wrong requirements, so a line from it may be quoted for itself but must not be attributed to a heading without a second reading. The Extranjería tile on its own home page links to an address the site answers with its own not-found page. It publishes no fee amounts and no visa-exempt nationality list.
