Residency Appointments / Certificados UE (Exclusivamente Para Reino Unido) - Page 2

Hi, thank you very much! I hadn't considered asking my school for help, so I'll do that once they email me back (I think school's been off for the summer!) :) I've got my EHIC already and have been getting quotes for insurance, but thanks for the advice. And thank you again!!

Thanks for your response! Apologies that my original wording was unclear, I'd meant that I was just trying to get a residencia appointment as the (very helpful) guides on here had confirmed that the NIE would be assigned with it :) Unfortunately, any appointments available in the Edinburgh consulate are after I'm in Spain, but thanks for the info!! Good to know it's just dififcult in general to get an appointment lol, but I'll maybe look into contacting a gestor then. Price seems reasonable! Thanks again :)

Certainly, but be prepared to widen your area to e.g. Elche and Orihuela.

Having just got my residencia after 5 months of trying to make an appointment, I can tell you that the  new appointments or cancellations are posted about 11.45 a.m. so you need  to be on your phone around that time.

Download the app with gives you a Sede electronica or internet cita previa, it will allow you to do it in English and if it's on your phone it keeps the info for repeat attempts.Make sure you have absolutely everything you need paper wise otherwise they won't process you and will send you away, they did it to me and then I had to wait to make another appointment which was painful!

Congratulations on getting there.

I did look for an app some time ago, when I was preparing my residency guide, and found this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adiltech.cita

I didn't mention it, as the rating is abysmal, the reviews say it's loaded with adverts, and that all it does is to give you a link to the appointments web page.

If however you've found a better app, then I'm sure that quite a few people would be interested in a link to it.

sede.administracionespublicas.gob.es/ then follow the instructions

After applying in January I eventually got it in June, and I speak fluent Spanish!

Very bureaucratic and unfriendly everywhere it seems but yes I eventually got it in Denia.

You do need a translator as they take no prisoners!!!

I have heard from my solicitor that they are not offering any residency until after Brexit is sorted. I have just moved and want to change

my address on my driving licence and was told to wait for Brexit.

this is scary as I have my residency appointment in 2 weeks in alcoi 

i started a business this month and will be paying tax for this month before the appointment 

i have been here since April 

can they reject me cos if Brexit even if I have all the right documents?

I'm self employed 

registered on the padron. 

about to pay social security so will have health cover?

can they still reject giving me a card?

It's not true that they are not offering appointments, each area is different, but there aren't many to be had! Just go on each day at about 11.45 and try.

The other thing to remember is each area asks for different things. My friend was asked for 1 year's bank accounts in Benidorm,  I was asked for 3 months in Denia for residency, not change of address
