Hi Denver,

I did the same as you, I think it's pretty easy for EX-23 residency to TIE swaps.  The people I feel sorry for are the first-time EX-20 applicants, who are impacted by the 31 December Brexit deadline.

Hi Elinspain,

Congratulations on getting your TIE!

Kind regards,

Kim

Hi Kimmy just read your post for filling out form Ex23 finally got appointments for fingerprints at the Torrevieja office I’ve not filled in the end section on the last page where you have to sign date and as you said put Alicante 

Would I need to put Torrevieja and the date ive got my appointment in that section and sign it ,wasn’t sure had to do that at my appointment,I panic and don’t want anything to go wrong as it took me ages to get appointments,thanks for all the help 😃

Hi Emma

 Yours is the 1st post Ive seen with appts at a  Torrevieja  'office' for fingerprints, & as your location says Orihuela Costa I'm even more confused. Can I ask you exactly  where you are going for your fingerprint appt.?

Cheers

Hi Emma

OK thanks for that, please  let us know how you get on after your appt.   I pass by bus often & there are always people waiting outside for other things  but you are the first ( for me) in relation to TIE fingerprints.

It's good news, I hope it goes well

Hi Emma,

Yes (at last!), they are opening up other foreigners' offices - Torrevieja, Elche and Benidorm, in addition to Alicante, in this province.  I've been to the Torrevieja 'oficina de extranjeria' before, for our first residency application in 2016 - it's quite small and usually very busy, but we were able to get street side parking.  

Do let us know how you get on, I'd like to include your feedback in my guide.

Good luck!

Best wishes,

Kim

I am confused. My accountant thinks that Torrevieja is only for renewing existing TIE cards that have expired, and not exchanging residencia cards for TIE. Does anyone have anything official that I can quote for her? Many thanks
