What is the TIE?

The Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero is the physical residency card issued to non-EU citizens who live in Spain. It's the proof of your legal status — and you generally need to apply soon after your visa is approved.

TIE vs NIE

The NIE is your foreigner identification number; the TIE is the physical card that carries it and proves you reside in Spain legally.

Who needs it

Non-EU nationals with a residence permit or long-stay visa — for example digital nomad, non-lucrative or student visa holders.

What it unlocks

Proof of legal residence needed for opening a bank account, accessing healthcare and dealing with the administration.

How it works

Four simple steps — they handle the procedure, you just attend the appointment.

  1. Place your order

    Submit your personal details online. All you need is a valid passport and a Spanish address.

  2. Procedure determined

    They analyse your circumstances and send a personal checklist of the documents you need to provide.

  3. Documents & appointment managed

    They schedule your appointment, check all your documents and guide you step by step.

  4. Attend & receive your card

    Go to the appointment in your chosen city — with telephone support on hand — and collect your TIE.
