 I am currently in Spain awaiting outcome of my Residency application and frequently use a UK Credit Card as it has no fees and uses the proper bank exchange rate, however, the credit card company has sent a new card to my UK address meaning the old one is useless.

So does anyway know a safe and secure way to have the card sent to me in Spain other than in an envelope and hoping for the best?

Happy to pay extra of course for a secure method of getting my new card to me in Spain.

Any ideas or recommendations welcome.

Andy

Hi Andy

I have used royal mail courier service a few years back

No problem at all and the documents arrived safely and on time

Cheers

Dan

I recently had a new credit card sent to me from my UK address including the pin number which obviously comes in a separate envelope.

The sender just put in an envelope as with all my mail, the difference now is they have to make a declaration of what the envelope contains, she just puts other envelopes.

Never had a problem with receiving any mail from UK

Just be sure that the address here is correct including your region and post code.

Twice, our credit cards are sent to us from the US directly to our home address here in Spain. All we do is activate them online or by calling the bank. No problems. Definitely make sure your address in Spain is correctly given. There's a tendency of making  up  address formats in one's own culture. This can be confusing to the postal service.
