Frequently asked questions

Can I work while waiting for my TIE renewal?
Yes, if you have a valid employment permit. The application receipt confirms that the process is ongoing and you are entitled to continue in the same conditions as with the previous card. Always request the receipt when submitting your application.
What happens if my TIE has already expired?
You have up to 90 days after expiration to renew without penalty. After that, renewal becomes regularization and may involve a disciplinary file. If you stay more than 90 days with an expired card, consult an immigration lawyer.
Can I travel abroad with my TIE if it has already expired?
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 for family reunification renewal?
For family reunification renewal, you also need: documentation of the Spanish/EU citizen who is reuniting you (ID/passport + co-residence certificate), and documentation proving the familial link (marriage certificate, family book).
How long does it take to get the resolution for TIE renewal?
The legal timeframe is 3 months. In practice, according to the Delegation of Government and workload, it can be resolved in 1-3 months. You can check the status of your file online using the number given upon submitting the application.
