Denia NIE application.

The online appointments system at the moment is only giving appointments at the police station in Alicante:

The police website says that Denia don't do NIEs, but Benidorm do:

But why spoil a holiday by applying in Spain? Have a day out in London or Edinburgh, as appropriate, and do it at the consulate:

Hi,

    The police station is on Av de Marquesat, 53. (Try google maps). I got my residency there last week using a local gestoría who booked the appointment (i.e NOT via the website). They were also still doing N.I.E but I was told it may all change now that Brexit has happened. Probably best to ask a local gestor what the current situation is as it can change day to day it seems

We got our NIE's yesterday at the Spanish Consulate in London.

Bit of a faff but filled in and printed out the forms at home. Booked appointment online and then took about 2 minutes to get the forms stamped and pay the fee £8.10 each. 

Do you have to have a letter or document saying you are buying a property before you get a NIE or can you book an appointment at local Spanish consulate (E'burgh, London etc) and get it there before even thinking about buying a property? I find it confusing! :)

Hello

You can get an NIE from a Spanish consulate in preparation for buying a property here in Spain. If that is your inttention, it would seem to make more sense to come  prepared.

Although I cant imagine anything has changed, this was the situation pre Brexit withdrawal agreement ending so I would phone them to ask, or look online  before you make the journey

No.. we just filled in the forms online and went along to get ours.. I can't recall being asked for any "proof" of why we wanted one although I'm sure we said we would be buying a house we had no proof of that.. 

It's similar to a National Insurance number so doesn't really do much in itself but is essential to "do" anything in Spain. 

Thank you so much!

Thank you for your help :) 

My solicitor obtained our NEI so we could buy a property and once we had the property I went to the NEI office in Denia to update the details . No hassle .

I am surprised your solicitor has not advised you on this as you require an address to obtain an NEI 

Cheers
