Re: Problems with getting a NIE

interesting thread...i have escourted a few english people to our local police station to get their N.I.E's , mainly because they didnt speak the lingo.
however, my friend from canada is moving over here in a couple of weeks time, and i was just wondering that as canada is not in the EU will it be any different applying for her N.I.E?

If it just has one then you can wait for hours. I assume she will also have to produce additional paperwork such as a visa obtained at a Spanish consulate in Canada unless she is travelling on a British passport.
