TIE

There is a video on residency on the embassy Facebook page which explains

Hi. The cost for the TIE is 12€ but most Gestors are charging 150€ to do them.

I do them for 75€.

PM me if you're interested.  I live in Almoradí

TIE is 12€.

I charge 75€ for an exchange TIE two trips.  100€ for new TIE 3 trips

Ray, €75 is a ludicrous amount of money to charge for such a simple procedure.

Should we set up in competition?

I actually had a local gestor ring me last week to ask how to do it, and which option to select on the appointments web page. He wanted to know for himself, before he started doing it for other people - my mind is still boggling.

If you can get me an appointment for fingerprints in, preferably, Alicante or Elche I’ll pay you the $150! 

Getting tired of the same ole reply “ no hay Citas disponibles” 

I've just tested the system, and could have an appointment on 14th or 15th September.

Are you sure you're selecting the correct trámite?

Yes Jim. Following What it says on the letter “ policía toma de huellas” 

I've only just realised that you must be making a first time application, and that the letter you refer to must be as a result of doing an EX-20.

In that case, I don't understand why the letter tells you to use the Toma de huellas option, as that is for EX-17 applicants and, at present, says that appointments are at Torrevieja, for which I agree that no appointments are available.

In my opinion, the correct option is for POLICIA-EXP.TARJETA..., which is for EX-23 applications, and correctly states that appointments are at Alicante.

On looking, I could have made an appointment for 11th, 14th or 15th September.

Please set up in competition!! Surely if the trips are for more than one person's TIE then the cost should be shared, you're not telling me that the gestors make multiple trips for one at a time..
