NIE number

In my experience from looking at others problems don’t try to do anything yourself.    Especially if you don’t speak Spanish.    And now you can’t just go down there you have to make appointment online  You don’t need a solicitor, we used a very experienced couple to do everything for us and it was about €60 not worth faffing about yourself.    Everything is difficult here.  

Hi if you have a little patients and time,  it is quite easy to obtain most documents yourself in Spain and also will give you an incite into the sometimes complicated systems.

Nearly all documentation can be obtained on line and will explain the procedure required.

This information may be of assistance to you, take your time we all make mistakes, I made a mistake last week when I was changing my address on my TIE . I took a photo copy of payment I had made, but that was not acceptable, I had previously read that!! And I have been in Spain 24years
