Frequently asked questions

Can I work while waiting for my TIE renewal?
Yes, if you have an active employment permit. A receipt confirming your application process attests that you are entitled to continue working under the same conditions as with the previous card. Always request a receipt when submitting your application.
What happens if my TIE has already expired?
You have 90 days after expiration to renew without penalty. After this period, renewal becomes regularization and may involve disciplinary proceedings. If you are more than 90 days past the expiration date, consult with an immigration lawyer.
Can I travel abroad with my expired TIE?
No. To travel outside Spain, you need a valid passport and a valid TIE or authorization. Traveling with an expired TIE could cause problems when returning to Spain.
What documents do I need if renewing by family reunion?
For family reunion renewal, you also need: documentation of the Spanish or EU citizen who reunites you (ID/passport + joint residency certificate), and documentation proving your familial link (marriage certificate, family book).
How long does it take to get a decision on TIE renewal?
The legal timeframe is 3 months. In practice, depending on the Delegación de Gobierno and workload, resolution can be faster or slower. You can check the status of your file online using the number given at submission.
