TIE card in Spain

Once a permit is granted, the TIE is the practical proof of it. Appointment availability, not law, is usually the obstacle — and it has consequences for travel and for opening accounts.

Who this is for

  • Newly approved permit holders
  • Clients renewing or replacing a card
  • Family members completing their registration

Frequently asked questions

Can I travel before I receive my TIE?
It depends on your nationality, your entry visa and the stage of your file. We give a clear answer for your specific case before you book flights.
How long is a TIE valid?
The card mirrors the validity of the underlying authorisation, so its expiry date is also your renewal deadline.
