Spanish NIE
Getting your NIE number in Spain is both simple and complicated at the same time. The frustration can be acredited to Spanish red tape and the way the various regions throughout the country interpret their governing regulations.
For example, in Valencia City you would be expected to book an appointment to request an NIE number in advance, and once you attend your appointment, you'd likely have to wait in a queue for quite a while. In other places, you can simply show up and be processed within the hour-granted you have the proper documents with you.
Of course, this makes sense when you compare locations in terms of popularity. However, this can make putting together a definitive guide for obtaining an NIE number a bit more complicated. MVM Services can assist you in obtaining your NIE.
Even those who have never been an expatriate may want to escape the long British winters for a place in the sun. With its temperate climate, relaxed lifestyle and proximity to the UK, it is no surprise that Southern Europe is a popular choice.
However, careful and early planning is essential to secure the best location for you, put appropriate arrangements in place and make the most of available opportunities.
NIE refers to the Spanish Número de Identificación de Extranjero, or in English, the Foreigner's Identification number.
In other words, it's the legal tax number assigned to both foreign residents and non-residents who haven't yet obtained Spanish citizenship by the Spanish National Police.
