Completed Application Form (EX-15): This official form must be filled out accurately. We guide you through every step, ensuring no details are missed.

Passport and Photocopy: Your valid passport and a copy of all relevant pages are crucial. We’ll check these for you to ensure they meet the requirements.

Passport-Size Photos: Typically, two recent photos are required. We’ll advise you on the specific size and format.

An NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) is an identification required for all foreigners engaging in legal or financial activities in Spain.

Residency, on the other hand, refers to your legal status in the country, determining your rights and obligations.

While the NIE is a prerequisite for many activities, they serve different purposes. We can assist in clarifying and navigating these requirements for you.

No. If you’re in the process of relocating and don’t have a permanent address yet, we can advise on alternative solutions, such as using a temporary address or the address of a legal representative.

The NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) and NIF (Número de Identificación Fiscal) are both Spanish tax identification numbers, but they serve different purposes.

The NIE is specifically for foreigners who need to carry out legal or financial transactions in Spain, such as buying property, opening a bank account, or working. It’s an identification number for non-Spanish citizens.

On the other hand, the NIF is a broader tax identification number used by all Spanish citizens and residents for tax purposes. For Spanish citizens, their NIF is the same as their national identity number.

For foreigners who become residents in Spain, their NIE essentially becomes their NIF for tax purposes.

In summary, while the NIE is specifically for foreigners engaging in certain activities in Spain, the NIF is a general tax ID used by both citizens and residents for all tax-related matters.

The NIE number stands for “Número de Identidad de Extranjero,” which translates in English to “Foreigner’s Identity Number.”

This number is a unique identifier assigned to non-Spanish nationals who need to conduct legal, financial, or administrative matters in Spain.

It is essential for various processes, including property purchase, employment, and accessing certain public services.

The NIE number is a key component in integrating into the Spanish system for any expat.
