NIE online appointments system
Legendary helpful member
The online system is now working again:
https://sede.administracionespublicas.gob.es/icpplus/index.html
I was offered a choice of Alicante & Alcoy, and could have made an appointment for an NIE at Alicante on June 5th - i.e. this week.
This means the offices are now taking applications, so if it would be more convenient to go to, say, Orihuela or Playa Flamenca, then I suggest you call in and ask them.
Next up - residency appointments???
