Nice video. One thing you didn't mention was language proficiency. I assume you could already speak some Spanish before you moved? Or did I miss that bit? We're coming out in Feb for a look around Alicante and a bit further south down the coast. Should be interesting. Thanks for the great videos.

We don’t speak a lot of Spanish, enough to order food, buy tickets, and shop, but we are learning I understand written Spanish not too badly, but they speak so fast it’s still like Alien!

Hi. Good informative video. Not sure if you’ll see this but if you do I’d like to know more about your TIE appointment please. It sounds like you need to speak a level of Spanish if it was all in Spanish? Was the interviewer kind and patient? I was hoping they’d speak some English for those who weren’t quite up to speed yet 🥴

Hi, thank you for your comments. Getting the TIE appointment is the hardest part at the moment, many areas only release a few appointments every day so you grab them while you can. Ours were all arranged for us by @Upsticks

The interview itself was very simple, although there was a long queue waiting to get in! Providing you have all the correct papers it only takes a few minutes and they did speak English . They take a photo for the id card and fingerprints too. We needed to go back a month later to collect our cards, no appointments required for this , just wait in the queue again
