Hello

We are in the process of buying an apartment in Aigues near El Campello 

I need to know were to go to obtain our NIE numbers. Also how do I go on about making a prior appointment before we fly out to set the ball rolling . It’s a private sale no agents involved.

We have heard that they are not taking anymore appointments until August because of Brexit does anyone know if this is correct please?

We would be grateful of any tips and advise in general as we are new to all this 

Kind regards 

Andy

NIE appointments are still available at some police stations, but if you can get to London or Edinburgh then it's much easier to do it at the consulate.

We went to Alcoy National Police Station to obtain NIE.  Our Spanish estate agent set up the appointment online.   The waiting time for the appointment in Alcoy was within a couple of weeks vs several weeks wait in Alicante.  

Jim’s guide above is excellent.  

Good luck.

Hi, Not sure on the buying aspect of things.... but we contacted an English speaking Gestor (solicitor) prior to coming out and she asked for all our details, passport copies etc etc, after we arrived, we had an appointment within two weeks!  The solicitor can get the ball rolling for you before you arrive, they do not charge much at all.

Ours in based in El Campello, if you wish to have her details then private message me and I will send you her contact details.

All the best!

Hi Andy. We got our NIE's through the Spansh consulate in London. You make an appointment on line and have to turn up in person with the relevant documents. Was a much easier and quicker process than trying to get a local appointment. We had the NIE's in less than 2 weeks. HTH Brian

I think people might be confusing NIE appointments with Residencia appointments? As far as I'm aware there is no limit on NIE appointments. (Could be wrong, it has been known). They are usually at your local police station, last time I checked the cost was under €10. 

Residencia is done at your local Policia Extranjeros - a different office. Using a gestor for this is usually money well spent unless you have good Spanish and confident you can negotiate the appointments procedure, paperwork and any questions that might arise on the day.
