In that case they have changed the requirement since July as I still have the email saying that an escrutira and padron certificate would be valid proof of residence. Of course it may well be that one or the other would suffice. We took both. As always depends who and when one asks the question.

Re: Applying for residency before EU withdrawal
In the preamble to Directive 2004/38/EC concerning citizens rights item 14 states:
The supporting documents required by the competent authorities for the issuing of a registration certificate or of a residence card should be comprehensively specified in order to avoid divergent administrative practices or interpretations constituting an undue obstacle to the exercise of the right of residence by Union citizens and their family members. Just saying ! |

I too received a similar reply, but escrutira and padron aren't exclusive documents and there are others you can submit, such as rental contract/document or utility bills.

Re: Applying for residency before EU withdrawal
I know it doesn´t mention a Padron in the Instructions issued by the Spanish Government, but lots of offices are asking for one and won´t proceed without it.
As always, it depends who you ask. Ask 6 different people from the same office and get 6 different answers. Plus I don´t know why different offices are interpreting the instructions in different ways. I´m going to change my driving licence from UK to Spanish at the end of this month...it seems a simple enough thing to do......but I´m fully expecting something not to be right. |

I would check that if I were you. Someone else on here said it was a requirement at Malaga. I find that Gestors sometimes don´t have the right information. In fact although I didn´t use a Gestor, I got talking to one here in Barcelona and it was me explaining to HER the new rules on applying for a TIE here. I´m not saying your Gestor is wrong....but you never know. |
Re: Applying for residency before EU withdrawal
Someone I know (Spanish) has a daughter who is a lawyer and she insists that everybody with a property in Spain should be on their padron.
Needless to say I've told everybody to steer clear of her! |

Re: Applying for residency before EU withdrawal
Fair enough.

Re: Applying for residency before EU withdrawal
Next Question..
On the TIE it mentions Article 50 and Article 18.4 which it should do... However, at the botom of the card on the front it says "Residence Card of a Family Member of a Union Citizen" Anybody know why? |

It is explained on CAB Spain website and means although I have a UK passport I can join her in the EU queue at the airport to enter Schengen with my TIE and passport not the others queue. |

My understanding is at the second stage there are a couple of boxes to tick on the form 790 which produce a fee of €12. One of them is for family members of an EU citizen which gives you additional rights of free movement in Schengen. My wife now has her Irish passport so I will look for that box.

I was due to move to Spain shortly and start application for residence in the Malaga area, however due to my wife's illness that has been put back and may not make it together before 31st Dec, so I'm hoping to get down myself late Nov to get residence for myself for my wife to follow early next year, I have all documentation, NIE, bank account and medical in place, so couple of questions please:
Does anyone see any issues with me doing this? If I apply for a padron do you get that immediately or is there a waiting period of say a week or two? Can my solicitor apply for the first part of the TIE assuming they have a digital signature and I just turn up for the face to face appointment? Is the TIE decision/issued on the spot or later? Many thanks for your help in advance. Were you able to get your NIE online? I would like to get this sorted before going if possible. Cheers |

Hello,
Were you able to get your NIE online? I would like to get this sorted before going if possible. Cheers You can get your NIE number as PART of the process of getting a TIE. It does not involve another appointment. They give you a NIE number at the Extranjeria Office, which is your first port of call anyway. |
Re: Applying for residency before EU withdrawal
Thank you!

According to a Facebook Group I have been following it is the fault of the Spanish authorities and not which box you ticked. I think someone is taking it up with the British Consulate in Madrid. I´ll post on here if I hear anything else. But don´t panic. There are thousands of us with the wrong wording. |
Re: Applying for residency before EU withdrawal
I am trying to find the email of the immigration office in Granada to ask them about the documents required for the TIE application as a student. Any chance you know where I can find the email? Only seem to be finding the contact number but no email.
Thanks again |

Thanks again No. I can´t find one...Seems they don´t want anyone to contact them. Even if you phone you´ll probably just get an automated message and not be able to talk with an actual person. |
Re: Applying for residency before EU withdrawal
I have checked through all the Extranjero Office details most have an email but not Granada for some reason. Only phone numbers as you say.

Re: Applying for residency before EU withdrawal
You may have this link and I don't know if it's of any use to you but I'll put it on in case it is of any help to you.
