Hi everyone, 

I've not long arrived in Spain and I've been trying repeatedly to get an appointment for my NIE number so I can start looking for work asap. 

Every time I apply, I'm met with the same message saying they are unable to give me any appointments. Is this common and do I just keep trying until it says yes or is there a different option I can do? 

Many thanks! 

Ryan

If you want to only do it online then, yes, you've got a problem. First you need to try selecting different police stations, as appointments appear sporadically.

Probably your best option is to visit different police stations and ask them. I've heard reports of some doing NIEs on the spot, and others asking people to come back at a certain time.

If you're non-resident, then you can still make online appointments at the consulates in the UK.

Thanks Jim, 

I've had a look at Alicante and Murcia but neither seem to have. I'm going to give them a call tomorrow morning and try and pop into the Alicante office as early as possible.

We used Maria Goya who specializes in getting NIE numbers under a power of attorney. Excellent.  Ours came through in about three weeks.  Phone +34 684 458 847 email [email protected].
