The NIE website works outside Spain if you use a VPN and set the location to Spain and if you open a new web page browser in incognito mode.

Great video, appreciate the clarity of the info, and also that is so friendly with internationals. Could you please share the exact link where to make the appointment for NIE as the one I have tried, after selecting the POLICIA-CERTIFICADO DE REGISTRO DE CIUDADANO DE LA U.E. and clicking on aceptar it won't give me any further steps to fill in my date. Thank you in advance.

[@NALBATRAVELS]

Hey! Glad you found it useful 😊 Are you outside of Spain? The cita previa website doesn’t usually work from outside of the country. You can find a step-by-step guide for booking your appointment if you sign up to www.matutto.com/move-to-spain

I applied last Friday for the NIE at the Spanish consulate in New York City since I have my main address out of there. I’m U.S and E.U citizen however at the embassy I was never asked for any type of visa to enter Spain (they obviously don’t know about my double citizenship). So my question is the following: can I apply for a TIE if I’ll have an address in Madrid starting December without having to owe taxes to the Spanish government each year? Cause I’ll only be residing there but still be working for a US company. Thanks.

[@NALBATRAVELS]

Hey! If you’re an EU Citizen you don’t need a TIE, you can just apply for a Green NIE when you arrive in Spain. If you haven’t already, make sure to create an account on www.matutto.com/move-to-spain where you can read up on this - It will help you understand the process of it all. In regards to taxes, if you live in Spain more than 6 months a year you’re liable for tax regardless of where you hold your employment.

[@PJB2002]

I am in Malta and the Spanish Embassy have advised me to fill out the forms here and apply at the Embassy.

[@NALBATRAVELS]

Yes you can also get a NIE number from abroad if you’re going to need it for any paperwork, but when you arrive in Spain you’ll need to still go through the process we explained in the video as the NIE they provide you from abroad doesn’t justify your residency 😊 Hope that helps! If you’d like to speak to an advisor about your case you can do so on matutto.com/move-to-spain

Hi, I have an appointment next week and have noticed that I may need an Empadronamiento certificate. I have not moved to Spain yet so just wondering if the Certificado de Registro de Ciudadano de la UE is the right appointment for me to receive my NIE if I currently do not live in Spain yet.

[@NALBATRAVELS]

Hey! You don't need the Empadronamiento certificate if you're an EU Citizen but you will need to provide proof of the reason for your move to Spain. Depending on what reason you select in the registration form the documents you'll need are different. Highly recommend you sign up to Matutto to learn more www.matutto.com/move-to-spain

[@mvpixel_]

I believe there is a mistake in your video, the tasa that needs to be paid for the NIE request is not 12 euro (that would be the tasa to get "Certificado de registro de residente comunitario o Tarjeta de residencia de familiar de un ciudadano de la Unión Europea) which is different from NIE. If in the 790 Código 012 form you select "Asignación de Número de Identidad de Extranjero (NIE) a instancia del interesado" the tasa is 9.84 Euros. Can you cofirm?

[@NALBATRAVELS]

Hey! It’s not a mistake, in the video we’re referring to the Green NIE (NIE Verde), also known as the EU registration certificate. The one that costs 9.84 is the White NIE. The type of NIE you need to request (White or Green) depends on your situation in Spain. I recommend you sign up to matutto.com/move-to-spain to read up on each one of them to find out which one you need and how to get it 😊

[@joelevi9823]

So if I bring a job contract i don't need to show proof of sufficient funds?

[@NALBATRAVELS]

Hey! Yes, that’s correct. When you apply for this document, you will need to select a “reason” that justifies your move to Spain. Depending on what reason you select, you need to bring different documents or proof. You can find more information on www.matutto.com/move-to-spain

[@joelevi9823]

​@@NALBATRAVELS Thanks and then i can take this green paper card and use it to sign a job contract? btw do i have to wait a long time until the appointment applying for the NIE or there are plenty of available appointments?

[@NALBATRAVELS]

@@joelevi9823 yes but if you’re selecting “starting a job contract” as a reason for moving then you’ll need your job contract first, as you’ll need to show it as proof during your appointment. You should be able to sign a job contract with your passport but if they are asking you for a NIE number then you can get a different type of appointment for a White NIE where they ask for less proof, and then get the Green NIE once you have your job contract. We have everything explained here: www.matutto.com/spain-guide/spain-tips/types-of-nie And in regards to appointments, it depends on the city you’re in. Places like Barcelona is really hard to get an appointment at the moment.

[@MaggieHanley-x6r]

Hi! I am an EU citizen, the appointment I should apply for is this: POLICIA-CERTIFICADO DE REGISTRO DE CIUDADANO DE LA U.E.? I accidentally made an appointment for Asignación de N.I.E., do i need to change it?

[@NALBATRAVELS]

Hey! If you have all the necessary documents then yeah you’ll need to change your appointment. We have everything explained on matutto.com/move-to-spain highly recommend to sign up 😊

[@margaretbatchelar]

I'm in Spain trying to schedule an appointment with Immigration. On the very first page I keep clicking on the button which says Access to the Procedure but it keeps timing out and I cant get to the next page to schedule the actual appointment. Am I on the right page?

[@clairehynes4326]

When applying for an appointment for the NIE blanco on the Spanish website, is the name of the APPOINTMENT also 'Certificado de Registro de Ciudadano de la UE' or if it a different name? Any help on this would be great!!

[@NALBATRAVELS]

Hey! No for a NIE Blanco you will need to book a “ASIGNACIÓN DE N.I.E” appointment. The requirements for this are also different - You can check all the steps if you create an account on matutto.com/ 😊

[@clairehynes4326]

Thanks so much. Your video also was really helpful. I’ll have a look on the website. Also, do you have to have an empadronamiento to get the NIE verde please?

[@NALBATRAVELS]

@@clairehynes4326 We’re glad to hear you found it helpful! 😊 You don’t need Empadronamiento for the NIE Verde, but you will need to get Empadronada after. We also have the instructions for that on the website. Good luck!!

[@NALBATRAVELS]

[@lw4423]

I need to have a NIE to rent a place, and I need to have a rental contract to do empadronamiento to get the TIE which has the NIE which I need to rent a place?

[@NALBATRAVELS]

It’s not a legal requirement to have a NIE to get a rental contract, but a lot of landlords ask for it, annoyingly. The best way to go around this is finding a rental where the landlord is ok to rent to you with your passport number, and update your contract with your NIE once you have it. Hope that helps, if you’d like support with any of this Check out matutto.com 😊

[@volkangelen4169]

Love the video!

[@matutto]

@@volkangelen4169thank you!! We just want to help 😊

[@Marbledaily]

@@NALBATRAVELSwhy do you need to update your contract with the NIE if your landlord already agreed with passport number? Just curious cus we just got a place with our passport and today we got the padron at the town hall. Why do we need to update again when we get the NIE?

[@NALBATRAVELS]

@@Marbledaily you would only need to update it if your Lanlord asks you to or requires you to update it 😊

[@lachezara-s.5800]

If before the 90 days end/when I don't need a NIE/ I go to a trip for example in Portugal, will I still need the NIE when I return to Spain afterwards? And will I need a native speaker with me, I've studied Spanish and know it to a certain level but I'm not sure if it will be enough for my appointment at the police station

[@NALBATRAVELS]

Hey! If you need it depends on your situation in Spain and other factors. I suggest you reach out to us via matutto.com. If you purchase Premium it includes a call with us where we can assess your situation and better guide you 😊

[@mvpixel_]

Is Empadronamiento (or some kind of info about address in Spain) needed for EU citizens to request the NIE?

[@NALBATRAVELS]

Hello! Empadronamiento is the registration at the local council of the address where you live in Spain. It’s compulsory to do but in most cities you don’t need it to request your NIE if you’re an EU citizen, so you can do it after. You can find a step by step guide for this on matutto.com/move-to-spain

[@RyanLudwick1]

My wife is EU and I am not. I am visiting Spain and attempting to bring all of the appropriate documentation to be a representative of my wife and set up her NIE. Will our marriage certificate suffice for power of attorney? Or will I need to have additional documentation notarized stating I am empowered to present her NIE application?

[@NALBATRAVELS]

Hey! The Spanish Government website specifies that the application must be maid personally by the applicant. So, at the minimum you will most likely need a power of attorney certificate in Spanish to apply on her behalf. I suggest you create an account on matutto.com/move-to-spain to read up on the process and for just €25 you can book a call with us and we’ll be happy to help you with this and answer your questions.

Hi I have a green passport. I didn't get a visa. Is it possible for me to get a NIE ort TIE.

[@NALBATRAVELS]

If you have the right to live in Spain then you can a NIE or TIE but you will need to prove your right to residency with the relevant documents. If you’d like to speak to an advisor about your case you can purchase the access package on Matutto 😊 matutto.com/move-to-spain

Also, my husband is EU and I’m not EU. So what do I need? NIE or TIE? 🤔🤔🤔

I am non-eu residing in Italy. I don't have a visa for Spain but i can travel with my Italian residence permit so can i travel to Spain and apply for NIE?

[@NALBATRAVELS]

Hey! This depends on the purpose of your visit or move. If you’re moving for work, normally you will need to apply for a NIE number from abroad then get your residence permit and TIE when you arrive. If you need help and guidance you can reach out to us via matutto.com

[@thewholeworld5384]

I am from Pakistan my visit visa is expire can I get NIE number…?

[@NALBATRAVELS]

It really depends on your specific situation. Reach out to us via Matutto and we can look into it together :)

[@FeketeAttila_google]

are you sure the EU citizens need a passport? an ID card is not enough? EU citizens can travel in EU countries without needing a passport.

[@NALBATRAVELS]

You are right, technically you don't need a passport but it makes it a lot easier for all the paperwork in Spain :)

[@Bharathkumar-gv4ft]

What's Cl@ve and is it possible to make this procedure simpler using Cl@ve?

[@NALBATRAVELS]

Hey! Cl@ve is a login system for Spanish citizens to access national public services - It doesn’t necessarily make the process easier but it’s important to also get Cl@ve once you have moved as you’ll need it to make requests in the future. The best way to make the NIE process simpler is to follow the guides on matutto.com/move-to-spain and it also includes the info about Cl@ve😊
