    The application must be submitted in person to the Foreigners' Office (Oficina de Extranjería) at your future place of residence in Spain within 3 months of your arrival.

  • Consideration of the case:

    The official processing time is up to 3 months. In practice, processing times may vary.

  • Obtaining a decision:

    If the decision is positive, you will be entitled to live and work in Spain under the same conditions as Spanish citizens.

  • Applying for a resident card (TIE):

    After approval, you must register with the police within one month for fingerprinting (toma de huellas) and receive your foreign resident card (TIE) within 30-40 days.
