TIE appointments can you still get them

Hello Yogited

Are you doing this yourselves & do you have all the forms,  documents, photocopies, photographs etc ready to take to Alicante? If yes, then you can only keep trying for an appt. by phone, they are still available, just hard to get.

If not, here is a detailed guide of the process & whats required. . . . Hope you find this helpful

Just keep trying, Yogited. It took me literally 6 months to get an appointment to complete my wife's application. 

Appointments are still happening, you just have to be very lucky to be online at the right moment (no particular time of day seems better than any other) to get one.   

Hi Yogited,

Just keep trying at different times of day - apparently, Comunidad Valenciana has a 3 month backlog, so if you're lucky enough to get an appointment before then, it's likely to be a cancellation.  Good luck!

Kind regards,

Kim

We are doing this ourselves and have had everything ready for months. We didn't know you could phone them as you suggest. Do you know the number? Thanks

Hello

I'm sorry, my mistake, the phone number is only for checking  the Lote No. to see if your TIE is ready for collection

(current posters suggest it now takes about 7 weeks for this. Hope you get an appt very soon

Thank you to everyone for their interest and the people who took the time to reply. The 3 month delay(thanks Kim) has led me to adopt a 'Manana' approach to this now. I expect the police have  enough to do during a pandemic than taking fingerprints and filling out forms. If and when it becomes compulsory to have a TIE in the future I hope they will manage this at the nearest police station and the whole thing will become easier for everyone (unless it involves the EU commission of course)

In the meantime I will continue to carry my Spanish residency green card which includes my NIE number and my Spanish Padron and my Spanish driving licence and my Passport as a means of identification here. Hopefully that will be enough if and when we get to travel again. All that my dogs need is a plastic microchip and the odd injection.  Maybe that's the way we are heading?

the microchip is a great idea! so simple!
