NIE, TIE & Residency
The paperwork that lets you buy, work, bank and live in Spain — handled end-to-end by specialist gestors.
The NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) is your gateway to almost everything in Spain — buying property, opening a bank account, signing a rental. TIE and residency come next. We introduce you to gestors who do this every day.

Frequently asked questions

Typically 2–6 weeks depending on the province, or same-day if applied at a Spanish consulate abroad.
Can I get an NIE remotely?

Do I need residency to buy property?
