Good to know

After you land

I

NIE — your foreigner's number

A tax and identification number for foreigners. You cannot buy property, sign a contract or open most bank accounts without it.

II

Empadronamiento — registering with your town hall

Registration on your municipality’s roll. It is usually the very first thing to do after arriving, and much else depends on it.

III

TIE — your residence card

The physical card proving your residence status. It must be applied for within 30 days of arriving on a long-stay visa.

They told me plainly that the visa I had picked was the wrong one for my situation. That single conversation saved me a rejected application.

Questions

Frequently asked

Not legally, no. Straightforward files are filed successfully without one every day. It becomes worth it when something is unusual — a rejection behind you, an irregular period in Spain, mixed income, a family situation that does not fit the standard form. The consultation exists partly so we can tell you if you do not need us.

From inside Spain, the authorities have twenty working days to answer, and often use them. From a consulate, one to three months is typical, plus however long the appointment waiting list is — which in some cities is longer than the processing itself. Gathering and apostilling documents usually takes another month or two before any of that starts.

We quote a fixed fee for your file after the first consultation, once we know what is actually involved. Separately there are government fees, sworn translations, apostilles and health insurance, none of which come to us. We set out both before you commit.

Yes, and in several cases it is the better route — some permits are granted for three years when filed from Spain, against one from a consulate. If you are here without status, arraigo may apply. That conversation is worth having early rather than late.

We work in Spanish, English and French. Documents in other languages will need a sworn translation for the file itself, which we can arrange.

Refusals can be appealed, and there are deadlines that are short and strictly applied. If you have already been refused, bring the resolution to the consultation — the reason given largely determines whether an appeal or a fresh application is the better move.

Not sure which route applies to you?

Tell us your situation in a few lines. We will tell you which visa fits — and if none does, we will say so.
