What we assess
The NIE is an identification number and can be requested for economic, professional or social reasons; on its own it does not allow you to live or work. The TIE is the card that documents the permit: the first one is requested in person within one month of entering Spain or of the permit taking effect.
Documents to get started
- Full passport and current authorisation, if any.
- Decision confirming your authorisation and documents requiring updates.
- Original certificates, registry details and proof of the preceding application.
- Timeline of entries, departures, applications and notifications.
How we proceed
- Assessment: confirm the route and competent authority.
- Preparation: collect and review evidence specific to your case.
- Filing: check forms, fees and representation.
- Follow-up: monitor notices and explain the decision and next formalities.
What support covers
We check which procedure applies, prepare the form and the fee, and tell you how to book the appointment. The TIE requires a personal appearance for fingerprinting.
Frequently asked questions
What does it cost and include?
The consultation and the full application are separate services. After reviewing the case, a quote specifies included work; fees, translations and other expenses are listed separately.
When should I start?
Before buying tickets or your authorisation expires. If you received a notice, provide its receipt date too: it may determine the response deadline.
