https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Legion
In the 2000s, after the abandonment of conscription, the Spanish Legion once again accepted foreigners into service. Male and female native Spanish speakers, mostly from Central American and South American states, were included.
Today, acceptance to the Spanish Legion is based on the following criteria:[5]
  • Be a Spanish citizen; although citizens from former Spanish colonies also can join (foreign recruits are required to have a valid Spanish residence permit).[6]
  • Be a citizen in good legal standing
  • Not be deprived of civil rights
  • Be at least 18 years of age and not be 29 on the day of joining boot camp.
  • Be able to pass psychological, physical and medical evaluations
 
spanish legion for spanish nationality only?

Foreigners can apply also for the Legión, if they are legally in Spain, but only if they are from Hispano American countries, including Guinea Ecuatorial in Africa. They don´t have to have Spanish nationality, only reside legally in Spain.

3. Si eres extranjero también puedes entrar - Condiciones Generales:Ser Hispanoamericano* o ecuatoguineano y residir legalmente en nuestro país.Además de los requisitos comunes necesitas tener en vigor la tarjeta de residencia temporal o de larga duración en España, o la tarjeta de residente comunitario como mínimo, hasta la fecha prevista para su incorporación al CEFOR correspondiente.* Argentina, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guinea Ecuatorial, Honduras, México, Nicaragua, Panamá, Paraguay, Perú(a), Republica Dominicana, Uruguay y Venezuela.(a) Los ciudadanos de la República del Perú deberán aportar documentalmente la autorización expresa de la autoridad u organismo correspondiente, para la incorporación del interesado a las Fuerzas Armadas españolas, o el resguardo o acreditación de haberlo solicitado.

About 7% of the Army components are foreigners. There is a maximum limit of 12%. Few of them are subofficers , even less officers.
