An application for a NIE number (Asignación de NIE) can be submitted to carry out certain administrative procedures, such as purchasing real estate, starting a company, investing or receiving an inheritance. The reason for submitting the application must be supported by supporting documents (e.g. contrato de arras, notary letter, etc.). A NIE number is not a residence permit!
The TIE card (Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero) is an important document for foreigners living in Spain. It serves as identification and legal proof of residence. If you are a non-EU citizen and plan to live, work or study in Spain for an extended period of time, you will most likely need to apply for a TIE card.
For stays in Spain longer than three months for residents of non-EU countries, the application process is usually more complicated and depends on the type of visa (student, work, etc.), which must first be obtained in your home country.
We help people from all over the world obtain a TIE resident card easily and without unnecessary stress. From the first meeting to the confirmation of your card application, we make sure you have the right documents and are fully prepared every step of the way, so you don’t have to repeat the process or miss deadlines.
