Re: Applying for residency before EU withdrawal
What happens if someone arrives at the end of December. There is no way that they can start the process by 31st. They wouldn´t even be able to get an appointment with the Extranjeria in that short time frame.
Also they will need their Padron Certificate from the Ayuntamiento....and most places will be shut during the Xmas and New year period

Re: Applying for residency before EU withdrawal
I registered on the Padron BEFORE getting my TIE (Residency Permit). I think I took along to the Town Hall my rental contract and my Passport.
To get the TIE you definitely need to produce your Padron certificate dated within the last 3 months

Strictly speaking it's illegal to be on the padron when you're non-resident. However, some ayuntamiento's will provide a 3 month temporary padron certificate for residency applications.

Absolutely false. You need to prove that you live here and some extranjeria accept rental contracts, utility bills etc.
What link do you have that states you MUST be on the padron?

Re: Applying for residency before EU withdrawal
All I can say is what happened in Barcelona.
I went along with a friend who was applying for his TIE at the same time as me.
At the Extranjeria Office they processed mine....but they wouldn´t do his....they said he had to get his Padron certificate before they would do it.
So don´t say it´s absolutely false. It is what happened in Barcelona.

Re: Applying for residency before EU withdrawal
I wouldn't say it is false, I contacted the Extranjero Office by email and they did in their reply say my wife should bring along with other documentation a copy of the padron. As always no doubt different offices have slightly different requirements. We did in fact also take in a recent nota simple re our property to show we owned it outright etc. In my previous comment I mentioned that when I applied under green card residencia it was certainly residencia first padron after that. I still have the email they sent which does say this.

My understanding is that a Padron will (probably) be needed for a first time applicant. For exchanging a green card for a TIE it is not required.

Yes Fred that's correct although if one is exchanging green residencia for TIE reality is they should already be on the padron. However expats themselves can be a little like Spanish authorities and all do different😉

How about date and GPS stamped photos? Whether the disfunctonario behind the desk would be able to cope with that is another question!!

NOT FALSE.....I took my friends to apply for theirs last week and they were asked for copy of padron dated within 3 months and this was for a swap from Residencia permenant green card to a T.I.E

Some local town halls are providing 3 month temporary certificates until your residencia is confirmed but I would prefer to present my Escritura & bills. However, this option is not available!

Re: Applying for residency before EU withdrawal
Based on my own personal experience a couple of weeks ago when I (we) produced a Padron dated 2018!
That was in Alicante btw
