 SERVICES: RESIDENCE CARD AND NIE NUMBER


RESIDENCE CARD

Once you have lived in Spain for more than six months, you are no longer considered a tourist, so GM Legal Experts highly recommends you to apply for a residence permit. Despite since March 2003, EU citizens who are living or working in Spain do not have to apply for the Residence Card, many times is required for tax purposes, because the Spanish Resident has a more favourable fiscal treatment than Non Residents, and the only way to prove the residence in Spain is through the Residence Card.

The residence card must be applied in person by the applicant at the local police station or oficina de extranjeros.

As laws constantly change, we recommend you to contact us for getting further information about requirements.

NIE NUMBER

In Spain you can't legally buy property, a house, car, boat etc without having applied to the police or Spanish Consulate for your NIE number and had your NIE documentation returned.

There is the belief that solicitors and others may apply for the NIE number on behalf of applicants but SINCE July of 2003, the law required that the applicant apply in person.

To avoid you unnecessary headaches and wastes of time in the public offices, GM Legal Experts will prepare the form and other required paperwork for a very low cost, advicing you about requirements, public offices location, etc.

Should you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
