Hello Dennis
I have 2 suggestions for you re residencia application.1st If you intend to do this yourself with help from you might find some useful info here.......
Padron, residencia and passport advice
This was written by one of our members for people with old residencia cards/papers to exchange them for the TIE card - it will not all apply to you but.... you can pick out what bits of info you might need that could help with your application. You can read the link below, and see what a 'gestor' can help you with.
My 2nd suggestion is that you contact www.getlegalinspain.com. Uma & her team are brilliant, all speak English & even provide transport to & from the correct offices in Alicante ( 2 visits). They helped me with the exchanging process, in fact I did hardly anything & they did everything and the fee was €90 (other people shared the car journey). Many people on this forum have sought there help and will share my recommendation.
Hope this helps a bit..... Spanish bureaucracy is still a nightmare when you've lived here years so don't despair.
Cheers
Elinspain
