All Around Maintenance can help you with
obtaining the following legal documents.
NIE - Numero de Identificacion de
Extranjeros
An NIE number is essentially a tax number
for foreigners in Spain. You need one if you
are going to buy a house or a car, if you
are going to work for a Spanish company or
if you want to apply for residencia (a
residency card). If you are an EU citizen,
you no longer have to apply for your NIE
number separately - you will be given one
when you register as a foreign resident as
detailed below.
Non-EU citizens still need to apply for an
NIE number. To get one, you need to go to
the extranjeros department at your nearest
Comisaria (the police station for the
national police force, not the local
police).You will need to take your passport.
The forms are fairly straightforward and you
will have your NIE number within 2-6 weeks
of applying.
Residencia
The rules on residencia cards in Spain have
been changed several times recently.
Briefly, if you are an EU citizen, you must
now register at your local Oficina de
Extranjeros - usually in the local
Comisaria. You will need to complete a form
and pay a fee, and you will be rewarded with
a certificate which shows your name, address
and NIE number.
If you are not an EU citizen and you are not
married to an EU citizen, then you will
need:
|
- |
Proof of income (a
job, pension etc. a healthy savings
account will probably also work, but
the actual amount you need is
likely to vary from place to place.) |
|
- |
Proof of social
security registration or private
medical insurance. |
|
- |
Your passport. |
|
- |
Finally if you are
married and one of you will be
dependent on the other, you will
need your marriage certificate. |
Importation of your car
The procedures relating to imports of cars
into Spain are complex.
If you are Spanish resident importing a
vehicle into Spain, be aware that you must
register it with the local authorities in
the Spanish province where you are resident:
the local provincial traffic department
(Jefatura Provincial de Tráfico), this will
grant you permission to drive your foreign
plated car through the Spanish territory.
EU citizens moving to Spain to take up
official residence may bring their own car
with them exempted from import duties. If
you are from outside European Union, you may
get the exemption from Spain's 10 per cent
import duties, under the following
conditions:
|
- |
You must have owned your car for at least 6
months prior the import into Spain. |
|
- |
You must have paid VAT in your country of
origin, otherwise this tax shall be paid in
Spain. |
|
- |
A special registration tax (impuesto
municipal sobre circulación de vehículos)
must be paid in Spain. This tax is
calculated on the vehicle's current value
(based on the original market price in
Spain). The imported car that EU residents
had owned for at least 6 months in Spain is
not subject to this tax. |
|
- |
You must obtain a certificate of
non-residence from your home country. |
Once the importation procedure is completed,
you will be issued a temporary registration
plate, which enables you to drive your
imported car in Spain.
Any concession on the duty-free import of
cars applies only to people who take out an
official residence permit in Spain.
