Frequently asked questions about the service
Does an NIE give me the right to live in Spain?
No. The NIE identifies a foreign person for administrative purposes but does not replace a visa, residence authorization, or registration certificate.
What is the difference between NIE and TIE?
The NIE is a number; the TIE is a physical card evidencing a stay or residence status where applicable. They are different processes.
Which form is used?
NIE assignment is normally requested using form EX-15, together with the fee and documents proving the reason. We review the current form and grounds before filing.
Do I have to attend in person?
The Police may require personal attendance depending on your situation and the procedure. We explain the requirement applicable to your case.
Can you help if I am outside Spain?
We can review the grounds and documents from anywhere. Filing may require personal attendance or consular involvement depending on the situation.
How much does it cost?
The full service starts from €290 + VAT. Official fees and other external costs are separate from the service price.
Can the service and support be handled online?
Document review, preparation, and coordination can be handled online. If the procedure requires personal attendance or action, we explain how it fits within the contracted service.
