filling in forms
 

Hi Folks. Could anyone tell me if there is somewhere on this or other sites that gives assistance in filling in the official forms ( down loaded from Free Beer) or a translation of what is on the forms. I try with my limited Spanish and a dictionary but still get a bit confused.

Hello

If you copy and paste the form into www.translate.google.com you should be fine :blink:I have tried all the free ones and this is the most accurate. Best of luck, I find if you take them to a gustor for a few euros they take all the queuing and heart ache of being told your forms are filled in wrong and you can get on with enjoying your life. :thumbsup: Best of luck Also if you put the above website in your favs you have it there forever it will translate whole web pages too.

Thanks for that. Unfortunately I can't use a gestor as I am in the UK and preparing the forms in advance of coming out to Spain. It's questions like 'periodo previsto de residencia en Espana' that I'm not sure what they're asking me. 'How long do I expect to reside in Spain'?? because at the moment I have no idea!

Re: filling in forms
 

What form are you looking at and I will see if I have anything?

Re: filling in forms
 

E16. Though I think I will wait till get there and go to a gestor as I'm sure there will be plenty of other things I'll need help with. Thanks all the same.

OK - can do EX14 (NIE) if you need it?

Re: filling in forms
 

Thanks but I already have that. The form was filled out by the estate agent when I bought my property.

Re: filling in forms
 

Can you remind me what the E16 is for and I will look to see if I have a copy.

I believe it's the form you need to fill in for a residant card/ certificate

Re: filling in forms
 

Just found it but only have it in Spanish.

Remember that the rules have changed and there is no longer a residencia as such for EU citizens. You "simply" get a more elaborate NIE certificate, stamped A4 sheet of paper which serves as a residencia certificate for banks etc.

Re: filling in forms
 

Yes it is - I will have a look when I get home. Mine is the new Certficate and I can tell you what I put on mine.

Re: filling in forms
 

Yes, but you have to apply for it on form EX 16
I have a completed copy in front of me if you want to know what to put where radikle

Re: filling in forms
 

OK, times have changed (again) I only have the original NIE certificate which I got on the same day I got my NIE from the oficina de extranjeros and so far everybody is accepting that for "residencia".

Re: filling in forms
 

I know what you mean :D

But, its a requirement if you live here in Spain that you get the residencia certificate (from about March last year I think)
