Great video! Thanks for the information
Glad it’s useful to you.
Hi , I’m trying to fill in the 790 form for my daughters NIE applications, I don’t seem to be able to save the pdf via any of the normal methods, print to pdf, adobe etc, maybe it’s not possible and has to be printed directly, if anyone has any free solution that would be fab as I don’t have access to a printer right now, wanted to save for printing later, thank you
I can't seem to find the catchment area on the website? Not sure if we would be Edinburgh or Manchester living in Wigton Cumbria. Hopefully it's Edinburgh as closer on train but how do I find that out? Thanks in advance
It’s Edinburgh. I’m just writing a video all about the catchment areas. It will be out tomorrow afternoon.
Hello, I have a small question and I was hoping if you can help me please :) I tried to pay the 790 tax at all the banks in the UK but they don't seem to know about this so I couldn't pay it; do you know a place where I could pay this tax in the UK? Or can I pay at the spanish consulate on my appointment day?
Thank you!:)
You can pay it at the consulate on the day, no problem. They take card.
Thanks - Helpful
Hi mate I’m from Ireland and looking to move to Spain to find work. Do I just print out all these forms fill them out and book an appointment at Dublin Spanish embassy to get the number?thanks
Hi Aaron, in your case as an Irish passport holder I wouldn’t bother getting your NIE in Ireland, you may as well just go to Spain and get it there to start your residency process.
Although before that I would visit and explore the employment possibilities, because unemployment is quite high and jobs are thin on the ground at the moment.
Hi. Fab video! When I click the link to download the EX15 form, it comes up with "page not found" and also the English translation is "page under construction" Help!
Ah yeah, the consulate links are forever changing. Google Spanish form EX-15 and you should find it easily.
How do you fill out the tax form from England, looks like it only takes Spanish address : /
Which tax form do you mean?
Thanks. But what if I want to move over there? Would applying for NIE in London help? Consulate replied that I should obtain "Certificado de Registro de Cidadano de la EU" in Spain. Can't I just obtain it saying that I will buying property and then just move to spain? Looks like I have to have it before I move anyway - how am I going to rent the flat?
First of all are you an EU citizen? If so then you can just move & register as a resident then you get your NIE number as part of that. If you want to buy a property before becoming a resident, then best visit Spain and get the help of a Gestor in Spain to apply for your NIE. Then you can buy property and you’ll have a permanent address to show when you arrive again to register as a resident.
@@youtoospain Thank you. I have dual UK/PL but will use my EU passport of course. The problem I'm trying to solve is. How can I move there without NIE if I need to rent first? I will not be able to do it without NIE. So having residency makes sense but I need to move there first and live somwhere 😄😄
@@amzelite you could get an AirBnB for a short time while you get your NIE and look for a long term rental. We stayed with friends in their B&B while we did it.
Thanks so much for the information. Do you know if the person who goes on my behalf only needs a letter from me authorising them? Or something more official. As I understand they take a copy of my passport and their own passport with a copy of that too?
They would need power of attorney to act on your behalf, plus proof of who they are and all of the documents that you would take for yourself that I listed in the video.
thank you
Great video finally cleared things up, i just have 1 question if me and my partner want an appointment will we be able to go together or do we need to book 2 separate appointments?
You will need two appointments but I think you can request them one after the other so you don’t have to travel twice.
Hey i have a limited company in the uk and i wanna start storing and selling goods in spain? What document do i need? Thanks
First of all, with a name like yours I’m I right in assuming you have a passport from an EU country? And do you intend living in Spain?
Hi, Thanks for the helpful video. Just confirmed what I think I had worked out. However how do you actually pay for the 790-012? Do you just take it along to the consulate with some money/card etc. Or do we have to go to our bank? Or does it have to be a Spanish bank?
Just take it to the consulate, they take cards.
@@youtoospain Thank you. I couldn't find this out anywhere! One further question if you don't mind. Do I put my UK residence on the 790-012 or the address of the apartment in Tenerife?
@@melanierhianna You’re welcome - your UK one is fine if that’s your main residence.
How do you pay? in person?
Yes I think they take card payments on the day.
Hi ☺️ Your videos are so helpful! I have a question and was wondering if you could help me, please. My partner and I will be applying for the NLV. On the application form it asks for your NIE. The information I have found so far says you can apply for an NIE whilst in the UK, but this is only for non-residence purposes. For residence purposes you need to apply in Spain. Can you advise? Do we leave that section blank and apply for our NIE’s once we are in Spain or can we make an NIE appointment at the consulate (how much time should we allow for this before arranging our visa appointments at BLS?)? Thank you! Leonie
Leave that blank. You will be allocated an NIE with your visa. That box is only there for those who’ve previously bought a house or something
@@youtoospain thank you!!
Hi Skatz
Different form but do you have any videos that help how to fill out the 790/052 please or any info
Many thanks
Ivan
Hi Ivan, I’ve not as yet made any videos about filling in individual forms but it could be a good idea, which part are you having difficulty with?
@@youtoospain actually I am struggling with all the forms, what to fill in and what to leave blank.
Even when I translate I don't understand what they are asking lol
@@ivandoherty2662 I think your best bet then would be to employ Chris from Upsticks.es. He'll make sure you've got everything done correctly
Hello thanks for the helpful videos you post. I’m struggling to find out which embassy covers my catchment area. I live in Shropshire? Many thanks
Hi, the catchment area maps are in this article on our website. I’m guessing Manchester. The addresses have changed to the BLS centres now instead of the consulates
youtoospain.com/spain-visa-which-uk-embassy-do-i-apply-to-maps-and-tips/
@@youtoospainthank you for the rapid reply. One other quick question, in the 790 form, on the declaration section “localidad” do I put my local area or Manchester where the embassy is?
Thanks, very nice video! But how do I start the process? Where can I find the email that I need to send to the consulate in London?
Try watching this video first and use the chapter headings. If you can’t find the answer there let me know.
Hey, to clarify things to get NIE, you have to have an address in Spain, but to rent a place they 99% ask for NIE. So how to get out from this circle? Thanks :D
No you don’t need an address in Spain to get an NIE number, you can get an NIE as a non resident if you want to buy a house or a car for example in Spain. To rent a property short term you don’t need it, but to rent long term you will need to provide it once you have it, which if you’re a non EU citizen would be when you get your visa. I don’t know where you get the 99% from.
Both my husband and I have already got NIE numbers as we bought a property in Mallorca 15 years ago. We have never had a copy of the NIE certificate for each of us but have the numbers. Can we get a duplicado at a consulate near us?
Normally you’d fill in form EX15 and take it to the local foreigner’s office at the national police station nearest you in Spain. I’m not sure if the consulates do it. Why do you need one?
@@youtoospain Thanks for reply Our bank is asking to see the original documents as part of their new anti money laundering procedures. We have never had the originals, as I have checked with the notario who we used when buying the property. They have probably destroyed them!! We have all the other docs and we know our numbers but no cert We have been told we need EX17 to apply,which allows you to tick you need a replacement, but we have been unable to get an appointment in Palma and are now back in the UK. I cant find if North Tyneside is Edinburgh or Manchester to email the right consulate.
@@helenthompson8050 anywhere north of Yorkshire is Edinburgh
@@helenthompson8050 EX17 is for the TIE, the NIE form is EX15.
Here’s the link to our website’s resources page, click on the Spanish government portal and it lists all of the EX forms and what they’re for. youtoospain.com/resource-centre/
Hi my wife is spanish national and she was registered with Edinburgh consulate and now we moved to bristol and need to register with london, can you please help how to register with spanish consulate london and further on we need to get spanish marriage certificate but struggling to do it staff refer to website and we can’t find anything there we are struggling i will appreciate if you can help
As a Spanish national, your wife doesn’t need to register with the consulate if your intention is to move to Spain. She can just go there, and as her husband you can go with her and get residency on the back of hers. Where did you get married?
Is it possible it takes less than several weeks?
It’s possible. The wheels of bureaucracy never beat the speed limit though.
Hello,thanks for making awesome content first of all! Could you please explain to me how I can pay for 790-012 before my appointment by living in the UK? Should I fill out the form and go to the bank or what options are there ?
Good question. You can pay at the appointment when you take the form in. If there are other ways I’ll ask Chris on Saturday’s show.
@@youtoospain oh,that's great, appreciate your answe,I will buy you coffee when this will be sorted 🙏
My partner was born in Spain, but a resident in uk. If we get married are there benefits making it easier to retire to Spain ? ?
If you’ve got proof of a long term relationship you can get residency on the back of his without getting a visa. But getting married is just better solid proof. I’m not sure if there are tax advantages one way or the other.
Hi, thanks for the video!
Do you know if companies in Spain will be able to give me some form of a work contract without a NIE or an SNN? I am finding that I need "proof" of why I will be in Spain to get the NIE, and then I need the NIE to get the SNN, but obviously these are important numbers to apply for jobs in the first place! For context, I will be looking for English teaching jobs once I am certified.
Thanks :)
You can’t do any job without an NIE.
@@youtoospain Yes, thanks. I know! This is the basis of my conundrum. My question is, what can constitute the "proof" of why I need a NIE if I do not have a work contract until I apply for a job (a process which requires a NIE)? Thanks
@@ellaharrington5389 well, getting a work visa is something the employer should be doing for you through UGE if they offer you a contract, and that process involves generating an NIE and a social security number. So it’s not something you need to apply for in advance. It does mean that getting a job offer is difficult because companies need to make the effort
Hello, thanks for your great video!
I have a short question, on the 790/012 payment form for the consulate, which address should i use because i don't have a Spain one right now? Can i use my UK Address? And what should i write in the Box> "Tipo de vía" from my UK address?
Great question, the answer will be useful to tell on the show this coming Saturday so I’ll ask Chris then. Are you using the NIE to buy a property in Spain?
@@youtoospain exactly, I now wrote down my UK address on the 790/012 and sendet it to the consulate there is no other option.
@@daniel23789 okay, I’ll let you know what Chris says tomorrow. I think it’s fine for the payment form. Have you sorted your currency exchange yet? Get a quote from Smart too either way: bit.ly/SmartY2S
@@youtoospain Did you receive an answer from Chris? Kind Regards
@@daniel23789 yes he answered on the show, did you not get to see it. Here’s the link so you can get the full answer, I’d better not do it from memory. I think it’s about 32 minutes in, check the chapters.

What do you do when your VAT number is not VIES verified?
Well, since Brexit the UK is no longer part of that verification system, is that where you’re from?
And if so, what is it you’re trying to do with your VAT number for it to need verifying?
Hi! I'm planning to move to Spain in September to teach English, I'm looking for jobs there this month. Do I need a job offer to complete any of these forms? Many jobs I've looked at require me to have an NIE number.
Hi Laura, which passport do you have first of all?
@@youtoospain UK passport!
@@laurabutler9427 okay, then presuming you don’t have a partner with an EU passport you will definitely need a job offer. All jobs in Spain must be offered to EU citizens first, then if the employee can show that they can’t find anyone, for example if it’s a specialist job, then they can sponsor a non-EU citizen and arrange a visa for them, which comes with the NIE number that you need in order to work.
There are quite a few English teachers in Spain already, good luck with your search, I won’t pretend it’s going to be easy.
Hope you don't mind me jumping onto this - same question as OP but with a partner with an EU passport - what difference would that make? many thanks
problem how can get appointment in consuate ??
I think there’s an email address or an online form you have to use. It depends on which consulate and country you’re in.
The link for the ex15 doesn’t seem to work?
Yeah, the consulates keep changing the link. Best to just Google it to find the most up to date one.
I’ve been on consulate website no NIE number no way to make appointment . I’m in London. You put a link on your video and it says page under reconstruction when I click on it. Lots of websites making money by getting NIE numbers on google
@@user-il3mi9rk1v I’ll check with our expert, Chris from Upsticks. London are in the process of moving visa application services to a company called BLS, and there’s a limbo going on while the changeover is happening. I’ll check with him what you need to do.
Hi I’ve managed to find the form ex15 but all in Spanish any idea if anyone has translated this? Says I have to do online. Then make an appointment is that correct?
Hi there, I already have a NIE but my 3 month expired before I could buy a property. How best to renew your NIE? (ps I understand its the same number but you receive a version b of the same NIE)
Hi Paddy, your NIE number doesn’t expire so you don’t need to renew it.
Hi - thanks for the video! I have the forms, I think I have completed them correctly but have a few questions - I wonder if you can help?
I can't find on your website where I check the consulate looking after where I live in the UK - I live in Worcestershire if that helps??
Then the bits I am struggling with are below :-
- In section 4.2 Motivos - my purpose of application is to enable a property purchase - I am unsure if you would classify this as an economic or social interest if you could please confirm which I should select?
Also, within the documents required I must also do the following - Form 790, code 12, duly completed, and payment of the corresponding fee - I have the following questions on this section if you can help :-
- I do not have a Spanish address yet (I need the NIE to enable me to buy a property) so do I complete with my UK address?
- Typically payment is made at a Spanish bank before attending a Police Station - as I am processing my application at the Consulate offices in the UK do I make payment in cash (Euro) at the appointment? Also will I need to attend a Police station also?
I also need to bring to the consulate appointment a document proving residence in the Consular area - I do not yet have a property in Spain so I am unsure what I need to bring with me or do you mean proof of residence here in the UK?
Any help you can give me would be welcomed as I don't want to trek up to Manchester to find I have missed a bit!! Thanks!
Hi Simon, Worcestershire is covered by the Manchester consulate, and yes it’s proof of residency in the UK you need.
Buying a property is an economic motive.
I’ll ask Chris from Upsticks the other questions.
@@youtoospain that’s great thanks - any word on the other points from the up sticks team?? Thanks for your help much appreciated
@@sitaylor2003 I’ll chase it up for you.
@@youtoospain great many thanks
@@sitaylor2003 hi Simon, I have your answers from Chris:
4.2 Depends on the property usage, if it's personal, social reasons and if it's a rental/business property I'd say economic.
Use a UK address
And payment is taken normally via card at the consulate
It doesnt tell me the catchment area on the website? I’m really struggling with this is there any chance you could message me on another app and give me a hand?
Here is fine. Which county do you live in?
@@youtoospain devon mate
Also i cant workout how to book an appointment, or can i just turn up to the embassy with the documents?
@@youtoospain i’ve heard a lot of people are struggling to get one at the moment because of brexit but i have a job lined up and need to get it all sorted by the end of the month really 😩
@@LeSavagee then you’re in the catchment area for the London consulate.
