What goes in the file
- A completed, signed EX-15 form
- Your passport or national ID card, together with a crisp photocopy of it
- Evidence of why you need it — university acceptance, job offer, lease
- The Modelo 790-012 fee, settled either at a Spanish bank counter or via the web
- A couple of passport-sized photos, where a non-EU TIE is in play
- An empadronamiento certificate where the office asks for one
The five moves
- We confirm you qualify and pin down the correct grounds for the request
- We fill in the EX-15 and Modelo 790-012, then you settle the fee
- We land a cita previa at the Sevilla immigration office
- You attend (we can come too) with all the originals in hand
- You walk away with your NIE certificate or TIE card
The bit that trips everyone: the appointment
Not everyone can be in Sevilla while this is going on. If you are applying from your home country and the calendar is tight, Gestoraz files it online before term starts, which is an entirely different route from the one we run at the counter here.
The genuine bottleneck is the cita previa. In Sevilla the slots drop in bursts and are snapped up almost instantly, often at odd hours. We watch the system non-stop and grab the first workable opening for you, so the rest of the application is the easy part.
In Sevilla
Most nie application requests across Andalusia pass through the Sevilla office. We know exactly what they ask for — and we accompany you, whether you live in central Sevilla or out in Triana.
Frequently asked questions
The number itself is usually issued the same day you attend. The long part is finding the slot — and that is exactly what we compress.
With a signed power of attorney we can handle many steps on your behalf; a TIE biometric appointment, though, has to be attended in person once you arrive.
It can be tight during term-start season, but it is doable. The sooner we begin hunting your cita, the better your odds.
