Frequently asked questions

Can I work while waiting for my TIE renewal?
Yes, as long as you have a valid employment permit. A processing proof of your application confirms that the process is ongoing and allows you to continue working under the same conditions as before. Always request this proof when submitting your application.
What happens if my TIE has already expired?
You have 90 days from expiration to renew without penalty. After that, renewal becomes a regularisation process and may involve an administrative sanction. 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. You need your passport in force and a valid TIE or authorization to enter Spain. Traveling with an expired TIE could cause problems upon return to Spain.
What documents do I need if renewing for family reunification?
For family reunification, you also need: documentation of the Spanish/EU citizen who is reuniting you (ID/passport + joint residency certificate), and proof of familial relationship (marriage certificate, family book).
How long does it take to resolve TIE renewal?
The legal timeframe is 3 months. In practice, resolution can take 1-3 months depending on the regional government and workload. You can check the status of your application online with the reference number given at submission.
