Hi just wondered if anyone could help, we are currently in the process of buying an apartment in La Mata, we sent a power of attorney letter to our solicitor, by Royal Mail track and trace, it's left the UK but is stuck in Spanish customs, not sure if this is unusual or how long they will keep it, we don't currently have an NIE number as we are buying out inheritors and thus the power of attorney for our solicitor, can anyone advise why it would have been held, how long it could be held, or how we get it back.  Many thanks in anticipation.

Hi I can’t say why it has been held in Spanish customs.I recently had something posted to me from the U.K. it took 2 weeks to arrive and had been opened by Customs. Sorry I can’t help much but maybe the timescale for receiving my mail, may give you an idea of how long you may have to wait. Hope it’s soon with you.
