About TIE Card Spain

Spain’s Dedicated TIE Card Experts Helping Thousands Secure Legal Residency

At TIE Card Spain, we do one thing — and we do it exceptionally well: we help people successfully obtain their TIE card in Spain.

For many foreign nationals, especially UK passport holders, navigating Spain’s post-Brexit residency system can feel confusing, stressful, and full of uncertainty. Appointments are hard to get, paperwork is complex, official information is often unclear, and mistakes can lead to costly delays or refusals.

That’s where we come in.

We are a specialist service created solely to help people apply for, renew, exchange, and collect their Spanish TIE card — correctly, legally, and without unnecessary stress. Every year, we help thousands of clients across Spainsecure their TIE card and move forward with confidence.


Who We Are

TIE Card Spain is a dedicated residency assistance service, focused entirely on the Spanish Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero (TIE) process.

Unlike general immigration firms or “one-size-fits-all” agencies, our sole focus is the final and crucial step of Spanish residency — the physical biometric residence card that proves your legal status in Spain.

We work with:

  • UK citizens affected by Brexit
  • Non-EU nationals with Spanish visas
  • Family members of residents
  • Students, retirees, workers, and self-employed individuals
  • Long-term residents renewing or updating their cards

Because TIE cards are our core expertise, we understand the process in detail — not just the theory, but how it actually works in practice at police stations and immigration offices across Spain.


What Makes TIE Card Spain Different

There are many websites that mention TIE cards.
There are very few that specialise in them.

✔ TIE Cards Are All We Do

We don’t dilute our expertise across dozens of unrelated services. Our entire platform, knowledge base, and support system is built around one goal: getting your TIE card approved and issued smoothly.

✔ Thousands of Successful Applications

We have helped thousands of people successfully obtain their TIE card — including first-time applicants, renewals, exchanges from green certificates, and post-Brexit registrations.

This real-world experience means we understand:

  • What immigration offices actually require
  • Which mistakes cause rejections
  • How to avoid delays and missing documents
  • How to prepare correctly the first time

✔ Up-to-Date Post-Brexit Expertise

Spanish residency rules changed significantly after Brexit. Many applicants are still receiving outdated or incorrect advice.

We stay continuously updated on:

  • Post-Brexit residency rules
  • New appointment systems
  • Regional differences across Spain
  • Documentation changes and local requirements

Our advice reflects how the system works today, not how it worked years ago.


What Is a TIE Card — and Why It Matters

TIE card (Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero) is the physical biometric residency card issued to non-EU nationals living legally in Spain.

It is not the same as:

  • An NIE number
  • A visa approval letter
  • A green EU residency certificate

Without a valid TIE card, you may face problems with:

  • Proving legal residency
  • Healthcare access
  • Banking
  • Employment or self-employment
  • Travel in and out of Spain
  • Police or administrative checks

For UK citizens, the TIE card is now essential proof of residency in Spain.


Who We Help

We assist clients in almost every TIE-related situation, including:

✔ First-Time TIE Card Applications

If you have received:

  • A visa approval (NLV, Digital Nomad, Student, Work, etc.)
  • Post-Brexit residency rights
  • Family reunification approval

We help you convert that approval into your physical TIE card.

✔ Exchanging the Old Green Certificate

Many UK nationals still hold the old green EU residency certificate. We assist with exchanging it for the modern biometric TIE card, which is now strongly recommended.

✔ TIE Card Renewals

If your TIE card is expiring, we guide you through the renewal process, ensuring continuity of residency and avoiding last-minute issues.

✔ Lost, Stolen, or Damaged Cards

We help replace TIE cards that have been:

  • Lost
  • Stolen
  • Damaged
  • Contain incorrect information

✔ Family Members & Dependants

We assist spouses, partners, children, and dependent relatives with their linked TIE applications.
