Your first weeks
TIE / residency process guidance
Guidance for your residence card (TIE) or EU registration certificate: the right form, the right appointment and the deadlines that apply to your permit.
Who it’s for
- Non-EU residents who need a first TIE after arriving with a visa or authorisation
- People renewing or modifying a residence card
- EU citizens and their family members registering their residence
What’s included
- A 60-minute guidance session
- Which procedure applies to you (for example EX-17 for a TIE, or EU registration)
- A document checklist and help with the fee form
- Planning around the deadlines that apply to your permit
- Preparation for the fingerprint appointment
- Email follow-up questions for 30 days
Not included
- Government fees (tasas), visa and consular fees
- Lawyer, gestor, notary, apostille and sworn-translation fees
- Legal advice or legal representation
- Appeals, refusals or legal disputes, which I refer to a qualified immigration lawyer
- Any guarantee of approval or timing
This is my service fee for guidance and support. Government, legal and third-party fees are always separate and are paid by you.
