Frequently asked questions

Can I work while waiting for the renewal of my TIE?
Yes, if you have a valid work permit. The application confirmation serves as evidence that your renewal is in process and entitles you to continue under the same terms as with your previous card. Always request the confirmation upon submitting the 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 are more than 90 days past the expiration date, consult an immigration lawyer.
Can I travel abroad with my expired TIE?
No. For international travel, you need a valid passport and, for re-entry, a valid residence permit or authorization. Traveling with an expired card could cause problems upon returning to Spain.
What documents do I need if I am renewing based on family reunification?
For family reunification renewal, you also need: documentation of the Spanish or EU citizen who sponsors you (ID card/passport + joint residency certificate), and documentation that proves the family relationship (marriage certificate, family book).
How long does it take to resolve TIE renewal?
The legal deadline is 3 months. In practice, depending on the Delegate of Government and workload, resolution can be faster or slower within 1-3 months. You can check the status of your application online with the reference number provided when submitting.
