NIE
Right this could be complicated! Finally my house is on the market and I hope to move to Spain this year. My problem is that I have applied for Irish citizenship but with the covid situation it has turned a long process into a nightmare. My application went in in February but the staff were all redeployed and you can't even phone them. My intention was to buy a property but I have to have the NIE number, I given to understand that the taxation and income requirements for third country residents is way higher than EU citizens. If I got a NIE number as a British person would I be able to change it to an EU one later when my Irish citizenship comes through? I have no idea of how long that will take but I am guessing at least the end of the year. What do I do?
Kind regards Anne Parsons.
