I'm interested to see if anyone else has found themselves in this situation. My wife and I have just moved to Spain as I have been offered a job here. As my wife is a UK national she is in the process of applying for her TIE card and number. This means that we need to demonstrate the following...

Hi I'm sure what I'm asking has been asked a thousand times before so apologies I've never used a forum before it seems complicated. We are looking to buy somewhere in Malaga hopefully Coin as initially a holiday home but then we plan to move over permanently. For our budget it looks like it'll...

Good afternoon to all! I am new to the forum and I'm sure most of you have heard this a hundred times, but I feel like I need some information from people who have actually gone through the process. I am a UK national and will be moving to Barcelona in August. I do not have a job offer...

Hi, this is a tricky one. I have my NIE, had it since 2009. I got married again in 2013 in LA and changed my surname. My American husband now needs his visa renewing so I took my new passport from 2017 and the old one and my marriage certificate. The woman would not accept my name change for the...

Hey Everyone, My wife and I moved to Barcelona 2 months ago. We've been having some trouble getting internet/mobile lines setup, and finally Movistar told us they won't do it because our NIE's have bad debt on them. I'm not entirely sure how this could have happened besides an administrative...

Calling any UKCS Offshore workers wiling to share their experience of moving the family to Spain whilst working a rotation in the UK. Within the first 12 month did you and your wife/partner apply for residency? apply for NIE numbers? pay your tax in UK or Spain? rely on EHIC card for first 12...

I have a Spanish passport, although i have never lived or worked in Spain. Now in the process of being employed... I guess I will need some sort of NIE > tax identification number... but not for Extranjeros? Is this what they called a CIF (certificado de identificacion fiscal)? And what...

Hello everyone, So I came to Barcelona on the 22nd July 2017 and apart from about 3 weeks back in London I've remained here since. I think I've been a bit too relaxed about declaring that I plan to live here, as in, I've done nothing about it! As I live with my partner I've not needed to...

Hi everyone, I signed up to the forums today because I am overwhelmed by this process. I am in Salamanca, and have been in and out the extranjería for 2 months now, and today I finally got my residency permit, which isn't what I was expecting. I have a small, green plastic backed paper/card...

Heya, I was wondering if anyone knows a fast way to obtain a NIE number. I`ve heard that there are some cities where NIE could be obtained the same day you apply for it. Currently I`m in a sticky situation and need NIE asap but I live in Barcelona and from what I heard obtaining it through the...

Hi, We're planing to move to Spain (Oliva) in either October 2016 or March 2017. I was wondering how to go about applying for school for our now 8 years old son. What documents do we need? Is passport and birth certificate enough? Or does his English school needs to provide him with some...

Hey guys! Quick question- I´m from India, and I have a valid student NIE here in Spain. I entered a 8 months ago on a student Schengen visa (which is now expired). I know I can travel to countries like France and Germany on my NIE without a separate visa, I wanted to check, can I travel to...

If anyone is considering applying for an NIE and you are based anywhere within rail distance of London go to the consulate. They are very helpful but be warned busy and only open until 1400. We did not make an appointment and was told it wasn't necessary. When you go in through the security...

We are buying a place in Northern Costa Blanca and next week (12/3) my wife is off there to take a look at the property with my mum for a day trip. I'm not going for a variety of reasons. However, will my wife be able to commence the application for an NIE on a Saturday? We have completed and...

I would like to just clarify the process for a non-EU spouse of an EU citizen moving to Spain: If I have successfully completed and received EX18 for a residence registration certificate and my non-EU wife wishes to move here and live with me for longer than 90 days I believe we will need to...

Hi all, just want to share to you my success story of getting the numero de seguridad social without the NIE. With my situation as non-EU spouse of a Spanish national, I hope I can shed some ray of hope to others like me. :) Bit of a background: I started my Tarjeta de Residencia application...
