Frequently asked questions

Can I work while waiting for my TIE renewal?
Yes, if you have a valid work authorization. The receipt of application confirms that the process is ongoing and that you have the same rights as with your previous card. Always request the receipt when submitting your application.
What happens if my TIE has already expired?
You can renew within 90 days after expiration without penalty. After this period, renewal becomes a regularization and may involve disciplinary proceedings. If you are more than 90 days past the expiration date, consult an immigration lawyer.
Can I travel abroad with my expired TIE?
No. To travel outside Spain, you need a valid passport and, upon return, a valid TIE or authorization. Traveling with an expired card could cause problems when returning to Spain.
What documents do I need if renewing for family reunification?
For renewal through family reunification, you also need: documentation of the Spanish/EU citizen who is reuniting your family (ID/passport + joint residency certificate), and documentation to prove the familial relationship (marriage certificate, family book).
How long does it take for TIE renewal resolution?
The legal deadline is 3 months. In practice, according to the Government Delegate's office and workload, resolution can be faster or slower. You can check the status of your application online with the number given at submission.
