NIE/Residencia

How do I get a NIE number and what is it for?

The NIE Number (Foreign Identification Number) is the number they give you to be able to identify yourself as a foreigner, whatever nationality you are, different from the Spanish

The NIE is used to open a bank account in Spain, to buy a house or to buy a vehicle. Among other things.

To get the NIE number you must get an appointment at the immigration police. Along with your passport, the application and the payment of the fee, you must go in person to the police and they will give you the original document with the assigned NIE number.

In the case of the NIE, if you cannot attend in person, you can give power of attorney to whoever you wish to present and collect the NIE on your behalf.

It is important to note that NON-European citizens must prove that they have been in Spain for less than 3 months with an entry stamp in their passport and a copy of their return ticket.

On the other hand, It is possible to apply for your Spanish NIE numbers in the UK, it is more expensive and does take more time, and you will need to go in person to the Spanish embassy either in London, Manchester or Edinburgh.
