NIE & Residency
Hola Todos,
I received my NIE number in February. I returned to the UK to do a short course and got locked down here. I will fly back to Spain in July. At this point my NIE will be older than 3 months. I understand that the number will still be valid, but not to paper. Will I need to get a new paper with this number in order to apply for residency?
Currently there are no appointments on the Mercury system - for obvious reasons. When the world starts turning again I want to have my residency application submitted. Any advice / insight much appreciated.
Many thanks,
E

Re: NIE & Residency
Just enter your NIE number on the EX18 residency application form.

A long time ago the NIE certificate only lasted 3 months but they soon 'corrected this error'.
When you go to sign on the list of foreigners, your existing NIE will be used.

You might want to employ a Gestor local to where you live? He should know what is possible and might be able to help you to jump the queue.

Re: NIE & Residency
This is what we are doing. Our new arrival date is the 19th August and our solicitor is going to start trying to book our appointment about a week earlier.
